I noticed this in the log files. It occurs in both, and is listed shortly before the end of the log:
22:14:15 DX11 error : CreateQuery failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
22:14:15 DX11 - device removed - reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
22:14:15 DX11 error : buffer Map failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
22:14:15 DX11 - device removed - reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
22:14:15 DX11 error : buffer Map failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
22:14:15 DX11 - device removed - reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
That error means your graphics card has been physically removed from the system (which I assume is not the case) or a driver update has occurred (which is probably also not the case).
If you haven't overclocked your card, my guess would be that either:
- Your graphics card is overheating and shuts down. Try a program like HWMonitor or similar to watch the temperature
- Your power supply might have a defect and does no longer deliver enough power.
I would first check for the temperature. Some times, the accumulated dust on a fan will slowly cause it to spin slower, resulting in insufficient air flow. I had that problem a couple of times. Clearing the fan will be sufficient then.

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
