Here is the latest event, occured roughly 5-10 mins before I crashed.

DistrubutedCOM errors can be ignored.
Just as a thing to check hardware wise.
Reseat your GPU and check the power cables are connected.
Once the system clean has been done and the GPU reseat is done we may have to check power saving settings in two area's after.

K well i've reseated the GPU and used the cleaning methods in your 3rd link. Played training for 10 mins, no crashes whatsoever. By now there should have already been one!
Gonna mark that post of yours as the solution. If anything happens in the near future i'll update this thread. I'll be damned if the GPU wasn't fitted properly this whole time.
Regardless, cheers for the help man. Helped me so much )))

Yeah it just happened again on the second game i played today. DEVICE-ERROR-HUNG was the error this time, rather than device removed. :/
side note: i did notice some visible 'hitching' or 'stuttering' playing through this time.

Here is the display warning form event viewer
Also this followed shortly after as an error, but i do remember you telling me to ignore these. but here it is anyway.

Alright,
1. In my guide follow section 4 and whitelist Apex with both public and private boxes ticked:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Barracks/Building-a-stable-foundation-for-your-PC-Windows/td-p/7605212
If you have a thirdparty antivirus (not windows defender) could you uninstall that please?
(if you do let me know which AV it is)
2. Press the win key and type power,
>click power and sleep settings.
>Click Additional power settings.
>Select the high performance plan:
>Then click change plan settings.
>Change advanced power settings.
Now here you can take you time to change power settings how you see fit but the key thing to change here is this bit:
set it to that and apply.
3.Right click your desktop and open Nvidia control panel.
> manage 3D settings.
>Program settings.
> Select Apex legends in the drop box.
> Set Power management to maximum performance.
> apply and close the window.
4. Right click your Win menu icon and select device manager.
Under System devices right click all the PCI-toPCI Bridge devices and update them.
(you will notice your system trying to adjust itself as you do this)
Also thanks for being patient, a new bug is hard to find a fix for especially users who wont spend time to identify the issue. :P

The first 3 steps I already had done. Followed through with the 4th in device manager to see that they're already up to date.
(edit: no 3rd party anti-virus btw)

Okay run CMD in admin and run each of these:
sfc /scannow
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Im not sure if i mentioned this but uninstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology if you have it installed.

Just tried those methods then, still crashed, and no I dont have rapid storage installed.
same error DXGI-DEVICE-ERROR-REMOVED
(edit: the crashes seem completely sporadic, the one yesterday was at the end of a match. The one I got just then was as I just reached the title screen.)
