@NayamAmarshe as said above these are usually isolated hardware issues

[aaronliu0130]

By device name we mean the manufacturer and model of your device.

[Fade1025]

I ran into the same problem. GTX 1660ti version2.10 and2.19

[aaronliu0130]

Please file a new issue.

Please file a new issue.

I don't think we should be creating more issues for this error. Logs should be fine :)

[aaronliu0130]

Filling a new issue has one (hopefully) going through the troubleshooting guide. This issue is usually something to do with hardware.
