I've been fighting this issue for months with troubleshooting and trying fixes that I thought would work, but it still happens and changed behaviors. It started after a big update on a game called War Thunder where I got a small stutter in gameplay and told me a driver timeout has occurred, and this happens like every 10-15 minutes. I'm like ok and started lowering my setting to better run, it happens, tried reinstalling the game, doesn't work, tried playing other games seeing if they had issues, they work fine, knowing the game, its code probably sucked and my gpu didn't like it. Looked at forums, found force closing discord helps, it "works" but somehow instead of it happening in gameplay it does it in lobby, the game doesn't crash, just stutters a bit and acts like all is good. I did clean the driver install on an update for my gpu, didn't work, and was looking for fixes until another driver update appeared, clean install and didn't work. But that's when it started affecting other games. I had a crash in Arma telling me "dxgi_error_device_removed Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG." I then had another crash in Squad so I looked into it. There was a fix where adding a TdrDdiDelay in the registry would help, it did but all games freeze and they do unfreeze after a minute but it still happening a lot I would like some help on to fix this before I go insane and throw this computer out the window ignoring the fact it's a 5000 dollar pc.
Side notes that may or may not be useful: All games affected besides war thunder last a couple hours before freezing/crashing usually happens when spawning back into the match.
War thunder happens every ~10 minutes regardless of what's going on
I have 7900gre gpu connected on a riser cable to my msi b650i motherboard
It only crashes on games, and software like blender, obs, and librewolf aren't affected.
Games in 4k, but I am not using frame generation or FSR
Anymore information you would like I would be willing to provide to the best of my knowledge.
