What is DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET?
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET (error code 0x887A0007) indicates the GPU device was reset due to a driver issue or hardware fault. Unlike DEVICE_REMOVED, this error specifically occurs when the GPU has been reset by the OS after a driver hang. It is commonly seen in DirectX 11/12 games and applications that rely on DXGI swap chains.
