Crash to desktop: "Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset."
Hello, sometimes when I'm playing a game, it might freeze and crash to desktop. This error message appears but I don't know what it means or why it is happening. Does anyone know? Thanks!

hey thanks for the info. I also heard it's a common issue with AMD gpus and might be caused by its overclocking features. I found a reddit post saying disabling that in LACT, by changing the setting from Automatic to another profile (except Manual) helps but I haven't tried that yet. 😮
ah! please do let me know if you find out
