Hi there. I recently bought an SSD to replace my old HDD. I installed Windows 10, all my programs and drivers with no issue. Everything works fine. I downloaded the 4.24.2 directly from Epic’s launcher and moved all my project files from my old HDD onto the new SSD.
Up to this point everything worked wonders. My project was working fine before, so I didn’t expect any problems at all, but when I open the editor and load any of my levels, no matter what I do everything will freeze, the screen will go black and after a few seconds I get the error: ‘‘Video driver crashed and was reset’’. Sometimes it even shuts down my computer.
I checked everything I could think of. Everything is updated, I’m running W10 1909, latest Nvidia drivers (tried both Game Ready and Studio drivers and nothing changed). I tried lowering my RAM speed from 3000Mhz to 2133Mhz just in case and the error persists, also disabled the CPU auto overclock from my motherboard. I verified the engine and it is fine. I thought that it may be related to RayTracing somehow, but I disabled it and the error persists. The error happens even in new projects, so it isn’t project related.
I played some games for around an hour and everything works fine, so I’m pretty sure it is an Unreal problem. Any help is highly appreciated, thanks in advance!
