Question Graphics card issue - Constant crashing

[Eddsta]

I recently upgraded form a 960 to a RTX 2060 6gb, I brought Ark and played for a while i started to get crashes but only now and then and then i could play fine which wasn't really a problem. However the problem occurred when i tried to play fortnite i only recently downloaded it and played for 10 mins when i get this crash error:

Removed

Assertion failed: [File:Unknown] [Line: 198] Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost. (Error: 0x887A0005 - 'REMOVED')

And from then on o could not play at all crashing withing 10 seconds to 15 mins of playing. It is horrible and i have tried absolutely everything which includes:

• Rolling back to previous drivers (2060 only has a few so even the first ever driver didn't work)
• Regedit (adding the TdrLevel)
• Underclocking GPU ( not sure if i did it right though i only Turned down core clock)

-Changing settings in game

If you could help me anything would be appreciated thank you!

It matters. Yes, to isolate the issue, try playing both of these games as well, on the GTX 750 Ti.

Little update, seem to be getting the 'HUNG' Error ALOT more and crashing on load up

Also i dont know how to do these fixes:

In the past, some users have mentioned the following workarounds to prevent the crash:

• Disabling Real-Time Thumbnails
• Running the engine with -dx12
• Running the engine with -opengl4
• Using Forward Rendering
• Setting GRHINeedsExtraDeletionLatency=1 for DX11

ARK crashed on the 750ti but i think it could be the engine coz dont they run on the same engine? i tried rust but it didnt seem to crash on either of the cards?
