bf3 troubles

[catzambia]

Hi everyone. So I was playing Battlefield 3 and I got an error message- DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with FXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG: Device hung due to badly formed commands.. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460", Driver: 36839

I'm a total noob so I'm not sure what this means. As it says I am on the latest driver and I also have my gpu overclocked. So what's up with that error? It's happened multiple times now, and I don't know what it means. plz help ty.

it means your drivers crashed, which means the overclock isnt stable, turn it down a bit.

o sht ok. Well my 460 really sucks then because I've only an extra 100 mhz on the core.

update, I'm at stock clocks now and it happens on startup. I'll try rebooting.

could also be a bad driver. but if its happening on start up you may have messed your gpu up overclocking it, my friend messed his 660 overclocking it too much.

OK, I had to go somewhere, but after reboot and running a lesser overclock, it has started up okay, will update if it keeps happening.
