Direct X Error 0x887A0005 when using RTSS + HWInfo

[alexat]

I’ve been seeing regular DirectX errors and crashes in games since January

• (0x887A0005 “Device Removed/Device Hung” (in Call of duty, COD DMZ, Black Ops 6)
• nvlddmkm Event ID 153 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED (887A002B) DRED (Device‑Removed Extended Data) (Unreal Engine 5 Editor)

on my Ryzen 9800X3D, Asus B850, RTX 5070 Ti, with HWiNFO64 and RTSS installed.
Yesterday I finally discovered that these errors only occur when RTSS is running and Hwinfo RTSS Overlay is enabled.
I can reproduce the issue immediately by opening any demo project in Unreal Engine Editor 5.5. The DirectX crashes in games themselves are random but most often occur when I switch from a game to a YouTube video or when the game ends and transitions to another “scene.”

AFAIK RTSS injects its own output into DX, perhaps that causes issues in combination with PresentMon. I'd suggest to report this to respective RTSS forum.
