d3d error - dxgi_error_device_removed

[f609082255]

I keep on getting this same error pop up randomly, i have updated all my graphic drivers and changed my graphic settings to low but it still keeps happening, help would be great

There are also lots of people experiencing this problem over various titles. It's likely a driver issue because not everyone experiences it..


"Investigating the cause of device removed errors

Repeat issues with DXGI device removed errors can indicate that your graphics code is creating invalid conditions during a drawing routine. It can also indicate a hardware failure or a bug in the graphics driver. To investigate the cause of device removed errors, call ID3D11Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason before releasing the Direct3D device. This method returns one of six possible DXGI error codes indicating the reason for the device removed error:

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG: The graphics driver stopped responding because of an invalid combination of graphics commands sent by the app. If you get this error repeatedly, it is a likely indication that your app caused the device to hang and needs to be debugged.
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED: The graphics device has been physically removed, turned off, or a driver upgrade has occurred. This happens occasionally and is normal; your app or game should recreate device resources as described in this topic.
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET: The graphics device failed because of a badly formed command. If you get this error repeatedly it may mean that your code is sending invalid drawing commands.
DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER_INTERNAL_ERROR: The graphics driver encountered an error and reset the device.
DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL: The application provided invalid parameter data. If you get this error even once, it means that your code caused the device removed condition and must be debugged.
S_OK: Returned when a graphics device was enabled, disabled, or reset without invalidating the current graphics device. For example, this error code can be returned if an app is using Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP) and a hardware adapter becomes available."

Result

Edit: Though a lot of thanks needs to go to the person who tried all the drivers.

Guys, I found a fix, at least for myself. I was getting the error: D3D Error- DGXI-ERROR-DEVICE-REMOVED. I have an Intel Pentium(R) 2020 processor and an Intel HD grapics card, so this fix may only work on intel GPU's. It took me a good day and a half to actually figure out what the problem was, but through researching all these threads about this particular error, I stumbled across the root of the problem; an error in the GPU's driver. I'm not sure exactly why, but to get the game to run, I needed to revert to an older driver, in my case the driver was:
9.17.10.2932
And it worked! My problem was, I kept encountering dead links on "Third part sites", which seemed less then reputable; and every time I went to Intel's site to download the driver I needed, it either gave me an error message upon attempting to install, or when I used the "Intel driver update utility" I got the driver I needed, but upon attempting to install, I once again got the error saying my computer was not compatible. Through trial and error, I eventually decided to visit my computer manufacturers website, where I found all the drivers for my laptop. You can see here: http://support.toshiba.com/support/driversResults?freeText=9D020547Q
It took me so long to find these drivers because, to me, common sense would dictate that if you need to update your GPU's driver, you would visit the GPU manufacturers website, not the website of the computer manufacturer. Regardless, this solution worked for me, and if there is one thing you can take from this monologue, its this: This error is very potentially a driver error, and can be solved by reverting back to an older driver or finding whatever one ArmA 3 is compatible with. I'm no technological wizard, but I hope this will help you resolve this burdensome issue. And thank you to everyone who has posted in these threads, its you guys who led me to this conclusion. :D

Could someone please explain in simple what to do if this problem occurs? The screen gets locked every 15 mins

[El Destructo]

My tl;dr of the thread content, it's caused by a problem in the drivers for Intel HD4000 integrated graphics.

You need to download and install version 9.17.10.2932 drivers at latest. At least until they release a new driver without the problem.

I used to have this problem. Now I have another problem where my game will just lock up and hi-jack my desktop and mouse, so I have to end it with Task Manager using keys instead of the mouse. If anybody has solved this problem please post the solution.

I had this same problem, and I managed to find a good link for the driver, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=ob-115031-1 (For some reason HP's website still has it ;D)

No problem. Once you'd brute forced the windows driver, trying the old intel one was the next step.

how do u get to that option in the control panel? I am so lost :(

[f609082255]

go to control panel, hardware and sound, device manager, display adapters, right click on your graphics card, properties, update driver, browse my computer for driver software, let me pick from a list and then pick the right one

[Full Metal Jesus]

Please post back if this works

When i try do install the older drive than this apears: "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for the installation's software.'
