Hey, a new driver came out for the RTX 3060 yesterday. You should update and see if it fixes the error.

    @AzureFire, this pinned topic might help. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/609730-dxgi_error_device_hung-solution/  

  • Okay, then it might not be driver specific. I'm gonna test more. Until then, lets hope the next driver will fix the issue. 566.36 came out on the 5th of December so the next one should come soon. Wh

    The latest Windows update was significant. It temporarily “broke” my GoFlight GF166 displays and I had to reinstall the software. It could well be the cause. I never had another DXGI problem afte

Downloading now.  Thank you

Update.  I am still getting the DGXI error even with the new driver.  Only happens when i switch to a different window outside of the simulator.

Did you try to install with NVCleanstall https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-nvcleanstall/ ?

I always use this to do the fresh install of a driver and since then, I don't have DGXI errors. Select on the second page "Install recommended", then after download, select disable Telemetry & Advertising, Unattended Express Installation, Allow Reboot, and most important Perform a Clean Installation. Next time you can choose previous settings. 

That's it.  I also use it  to check for new drivers, then abort if it's still the same.

Dan, I followed your instructions and this seems to have fixed my problem.  Thank you for your help getting this resolved.

Whelp these crashes have started again.  Only happens when I’m surfing on the web or have another program in focus instead of p3d.

... are you running all relevant exe's in Admin mode....

Yes, makes no difference.  I've tried testing different planes, scenarios, sceneries, addon programs open/closed, etc and cannot figure out what's causing it.  Maybe rolling back to a driver from some time ago that worked would be the answer?

I have mentioned this before and I have that same problem. On some systems P3D does not like it if you run other programs or "surf".

Don't do it and all should be fine.

Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor. Win 10 Home. 500g Samsung 960 as Windows home. 1 Gb Mushkin SSD for P3D. GTX 1080 8gb.

Not being able to use other programs like active sky or volanta during flight is an unacceptable solution to my problem honestly.

I don't mean those "flying programs", I mean looking at short video clips and that sort of thing.

Yea I don’t totally disagree with you on that, but I should be able to bring active sky or another program up without getting the DXGI error after 5 seconds.  
 

I have an iPad so I can do a lot of stuff like finding weather and charts without having to minimize P3d, so I can still fly.  I just have to be careful with it and P3d was never this “delicate” to me.

While your in the sim run task manager this will show if something else is running in the background, and check the list for what`s hogging the CPU performance.

In task manager click on performance then the bottom box GPU performance this will tell you what`s happening in the graff.

So after some more testing, I don't have these crashes if I have p3d in windowed mode instead of full screen.  Therefore, my workaround for now is to put p3d into windowed mode if i need to check active sky or other programs while in flight.

Thanks everyone for your previous suggestions.
