MSFS 2024 DXGI_ERROR_Device_hung with Fenix320
Hello everyone,
I’m experiencing some issues in MSFS 2024 right now (I hadn’t played for a while before this).
For some reason, after around 30–40 minutes of gameplay, I get the error message “DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG”, which basically results in a CTD (crash to desktop).
In the MSFS crash report, there is also a mention saying “GPU Device Removed”. I’ve seen online that it could be related to the power supply. However, I ran both 3DMark and OCCT without finding any issues with the GPU. I did stress tests and longer 45-minute tests with the GPU constantly at 100% usage, and everything was stable. I also ran a VRAM stress test using all 16 GB, and there were no errors either.
I’d say I’m pretty comfortable with tech stuff, and I’ve already tried a lot of things before asking for help. I went through many Reddit posts, Avsim threads, and other forums, but none of the suggested fixes worked.
My specs are:
- AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- RTX 5070 Ti
- Windows 11
- 750W power supply
What I’ve tried so far:
- Reinstalled Windows from scratch with only the latest Nvidia drivers and a completely addon-free sim → same result
- Installed older Nvidia drivers using DDU in Windows 11 Safe Mode → same result
- Added TdrLevel and TdrDelay in Regedit (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers) → didn’t work
- Tried the “Optimize” feature in the Nvidia app → same result
- Disabled Frame Generation → same result
This issue only happens with MSFS 2024. Every other game runs perfectly fine: no freezes, no crashes, nothing.
At this point, I’m honestly out of ideas and losing hope of being able to play my favorite game again.
If anyone has any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it.
EDIT : De-Activate XMP profile AM4 platform. You can try a lower XMP settings if you have time to spare...
