Games keep cutting out randomly.
Games keep cutting out randomly.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text:
“I’m experiencing frequent and disruptive issues with my gaming setup, primarily in Overwatch. The problem manifests as random screen cuts – sometimes accompanied by an error message stating ‘your rendering device has been lost,’ other times resulting in complete display loss and unresponsive controls on my left monitor. Despite maintaining consistently low temperatures (around 71°C max) and monitoring them closely through the game itself, these crashes continue to occur. I’ve recently performed a clean Windows installation alongside fresh installations of Overwatch and other games, attempting to rule out software conflicts. My hardware is as follows: an Intel Core i7-7700k processor, ASUS STRIX B250H GAMING motherboard, 8GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 RAM, a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM, a 120GB Gigabyte SSD, a 2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHD, a CORSAIR 650W power supply. The issue is incredibly frustrating as the crashes aren't due to overheating or obvious driver problems.”
Lutfij :
Did you recreate the bootable installer for your OS using Windows Media Creation Tools? Does the issue only happen with Overwatch?
Yeah, i used the media tool, on a fresh pendrive. I removed all partitions on the old drive etc. And so far it does seem to only be overwatch yes.
MLG_No_Scope :
just to be sure, is the game itself cutting out randomly or is the audio cutting out randomly?
if it is the game, the problem can be variant. the problem didn't fix when reinstalling the games or clean install with the OS (windows).
So i think it is a problem with the GPU driver. Might be outdated or something is bad about it.
Updating it or reinstalling a better GPU driver should fix it. give it a try
if it is a problem with audio, then re enable the audio drivers and restarting your pc will 9/10 fix it
When the game cuts out and it says "rendering device lost" the audio is still on my headset for a brief while. I can hear team mates asking why im standing still. But when it makes my monitor freeze everything goes instantly but the picture is stuck. Before i did an install of windows i cleaned out the drivers using DDU. and then reinstalled them. When i did the clean install of windows. I required to install my drivers again. Nothing changed though.
