games crash due to graphics card disconnecting mid game? DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED

[macmee]

I'm on a SB 2, GTX 1060 6gb model.

Specifically fortnite keeps crashing with the error: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED

I'm on the nvidia driver 397.93

I know its off subject, but man I am digging the music being played during the video - Any idea who produced it?

I imagine you can use Shazam and find out the song and research it.

Sadly the registry fix did not work.

I also can't find other surface book owners who have the same problem and I assume there are others who play fortnite.

Maybe it's a hardware problem with my surface and I should ask Microsoft for an exchange...

Thank you so much - My wife now has it as her ringtone. I really appreciate this.
