Hard reboot of computer upon IL2 loading screen lockup

Upon trying to start IL2 from Steam App a Hard reboot of computer becomes necessary after it locks the screen DXRenderer11::endframe(..) DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED (0x887a0005) is there in a box to see the few times I make it back to desktop A search of this topic seemed to be full of suggestions in Phoenician and mandarin Chinese. JK. Very technical suggestions above my computering ability and entirely unsure if following any of those particularly complicated fixes even work. You're my only hope OBIWAN!

You can try to reset the graphics before you resort to a hard reboot.

 

Hold down these four keys Win+Ctrl+Shift+B. You should see the screen blink off and on again.

Appreciate your suggestions. 

 

I found simply editing the startup.cfg to a custom display size and disabling full screen cured this.

 

Thanks again!
