  1. Duude thank you so much. My computer shut off itself from overheating and this problem occured. I have removed and reinstalled game, launcher and gpu driver but none solved that problem but TdrLevel regedit thing fixed that stupid issue. Thank you again

  2. The first priority should be to check tthe connection of the gpu with the PSU and pcie slot. Then try with another old gpu if available. Even then if the problem persists try the above.

  3. in most cases all these solutions are not required. Checking the connection form psu and with the pcie slot must be the first priority. try another gpu if you have an old one handy. Even then if the problem persists, then give a shot at the above.
