I have recently installed Overwatch game, but every few matches the game crashes and I get a notification Rendering Device has been lost: Application closing. Then another notification appears that the graphics driver crashed and successfully recovered. I tried reinstalling the drivers, also updating, but nothing worked.

Hi Dayan,

 

 

If you are using Beta software, the experience could be not the best. Random BSOD or low performance might be experienced.

 

 

Now, in regards the video driver error message, I recommend you to uninstall and delete the current video driver from device manager then, restart the system and install from scratch the video driver again.

 

 

Pre-build systems require customized drivers by the laptop manufacturer. Our generic drivers usually don't work.
