Hey! a week ago I upgraded to the new Nvidia driver which has optimization for Player Unknowns Battlegrounds. It was FLAWLESS and even slightly made my other games better. a couple days later, I decided to clean the inside of my pc with a compressed air can. My PC is extremely clean, so I didn't really do much except try it for the first time, making sure not to tilt it, and trying it on my hand before blowing air at my pc. After I did this, I turned on my PC and loaded up Overwatch, which crashed after playing it for 5 minutes, giving me the "Rendering device has been lost!" error. After that I tried H1Z1, which crashed after startup, being on the menu for only a minute. After that I tried Rocket League, with less intense graphics then the other games, and it ran perfectly, with only a minor issue when I alt tabbed, but that wasnt even noticeable.


Now, I can do anything on my PC besides play the games I want...

Things I've tried: Contacting Nvidia, which made me wait 1 hour, then wasted 2 hours of my time with a foreign "support agent" that could barely speak english.

Reverting to the last driver I had for my GPU

Clean reset of my windows 10

PS: This is the first time I actually put a question on this website, so sorry if I missed anything. Im just so fed up with not being to find any answers on the internet

Edit: GPU is about 50-55 degrees celcius whilst im playing Overwatch
 
lets try this first / there should be a label on the PSU telling you who made it or just take a photo of it
Download the latest drivers for your GPU place them on your desktop get Display Driver Uninstaller from here

remove everything after restarting it will probably be 640x480 not great instal your AMD/NVIDIA drivers and hopefully should fix your problem
