    Hello,

    I tried running 3DMark Vantage benchmarks but I get the following error:

    std::exception
    IDXGISwapChain: :present failed: Device removed.
    (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED)

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Cheers,

    Your video driver crashed. Lower your clocks if you OC'd them.
