Update your GPU driver first, then disable any overclock, update DirectX, and increase the TDR delay if the crash continues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px 0;\">If a game or 3D application suddenly freezes and then crashes with <strong>DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG<\/strong>, your graphics card didn&#8217;t fail \u2014 Windows simply gave up waiting for it to respond and reset the display driver. This guide walks through why it happens and nine fixes that have worked consistently for PC gamers on Windows 10 and Windows 11.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; border-radius: 6px; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 0 0 30px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: #0b3d6e; font-size: 15px;\">On This Page<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><a style=\"color: #0b3d6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#what-is-it\">What DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG Actually Means<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><a style=\"color: #0b3d6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#causes\">Common Causes<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><a style=\"color: #0b3d6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#fixes\">9 Fixes, Step by Step<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><a style=\"color: #0b3d6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#comparison\">Fix Difficulty &amp; Success Rate<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><a style=\"color: #0b3d6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#prevent\">Preventing It From Coming Back<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><a style=\"color: #0b3d6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#faq\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a style=\"color: #0b3d6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#tldr\">TL;DR Summary<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-it\" style=\"color: #0b3d6e; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 26px; border-bottom: 3px solid #0b3d6e; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 34px 0 16px 0;\">What DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG Actually Means<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">DXGI stands for DirectX Graphics Infrastructure, the layer that sits between your games and your graphics driver. When Windows sends a rendering command and the GPU doesn&#8217;t reply within its expected time window, the operating system assumes the driver has locked up. It then tears down and restarts the display driver \u2014 this is called a TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) event \u2014 and your game receives the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error as it loses its connection to the GPU.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-107382\" src=\"https:\/\/seminarsonly.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dxgi-error-device-hung-fix.jpg\" alt=\"DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG Fix: 9 Proven Ways to Stop Game Crashes (2026)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seminarsonly.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dxgi-error-device-hung-fix.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/seminarsonly.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dxgi-error-device-hung-fix-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seminarsonly.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dxgi-error-device-hung-fix-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seminarsonly.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dxgi-error-device-hung-fix-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">It&#8217;s worth knowing this is different from its sibling error, <strong>DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED<\/strong>, which means Windows believes the GPU has disconnected or failed outright rather than just being slow to respond.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">Games and apps where this shows up most<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0 0 20px 0; padding-left: 22px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Warzone, Fortnite, and other high-refresh competitive shooters<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Flight simulators such as Prepar3D and Microsoft Flight Simulator<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Unreal Engine projects and the Unreal Editor itself<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Story-driven titles with heavy shader compilation, such as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"causes\" style=\"color: #0b3d6e; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 26px; border-bottom: 3px solid #0b3d6e; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 34px 0 16px 0;\">Common Causes<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 14px 0;\">There&#8217;s rarely a single cause.

Update your graphics driver<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">Go to your GPU manufacturer&#8217;s official site (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel), download the latest driver for your exact model, and choose a clean install if the option is available. This resolves the issue in the majority of reported cases.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">2. Turn off all overclocking<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">Reset your GPU to factory clock speeds using the same tool you used to overclock it (MSI Afterburner, AMD software, or similar), and disable any CPU or RAM overclock profile (XMP\/DOCP) in BIOS if you suspect memory instability.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">3. Update DirectX and Windows<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">Install the latest DirectX End-User Runtime and make sure Windows Update has installed all pending updates, including optional driver updates.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">4. Cap your frame rate or fix refresh-rate sync<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">Cap the game to a fixed FPS (60 or your monitor&#8217;s native refresh rate) in its graphics settings, and switch from borderless windowed to exclusive fullscreen mode, or the reverse, if the crash coincides with alt-tabbing.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">5. Clear the DirectX shader cache<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">Go to Settings &gt; System &gt; Storage &gt; Temporary files, select DirectX Shader Cache, and remove it. A corrupted cache can cause rendering hiccups that look identical to a hung device.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">6. Run the game with administrator rights<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">Right-click the game&#8217;s .exe file, open Properties &gt; Compatibility, and enable &#8220;Run this program as an administrator.&#8221; Some titles need elevated access to talk to the GPU driver correctly.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">7. Force the correct GPU on laptops<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">On laptops with both integrated and dedicated graphics, open your GPU control panel&#8217;s 3D settings and set the game to always use the dedicated GPU, since an accidental switch to integrated graphics mid-session can trigger the timeout.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">8. Increase the TDR delay (advanced users)<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">This is a registry-level change that gives the GPU more time before Windows declares it hung. It&#8217;s a useful diagnostic step but not a permanent fix \u2014 treat a longer delay as confirmation the GPU is genuinely overloaded, not just slow.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">9. Reinstall the game and test your RAM<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">Uninstall and reinstall the affected title to rule out corrupted files, and if the crash still persists across multiple games, run a memory diagnostic tool such as Windows Memory Diagnostic or MemTest86 overnight to check for failing RAM.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"comparison\" style=\"color: #0b3d6e;

font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">Is DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG a sign of GPU hardware failure?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">Not usually. In most reported cases it traces back to a driver or software-level timeout rather than permanent hardware damage. Hardware failure becomes more likely only if the error persists after drivers, overclocking, and system files have all been ruled out.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">What&#8217;s the difference between DEVICE_HUNG and DEVICE_REMOVED?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">DEVICE_HUNG means the GPU stopped responding in time and Windows reset it. DEVICE_REMOVED means Windows believes the GPU disconnected or failed entirely, which more often points to a hardware or connection issue.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 26px 0 12px 0;\">Should I disable TDR completely?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\">It&#8217;s not recommended as a permanent setting, since TDR exists to recover your system from a genuinely frozen driver.
