Launchbox keeps crashing PC to crash then resorts to black screen, after a few minutes screen returns to normal but Launchbox produces above error. I was entering emulator name at the time.

This error is basically telling you DirectX encountered an error trying to make a draw call. Usually caused by outdated drivers. Can also be called if something corrupts your video card buffer, or some how interferes with the DirectX call. I would make sure you have the most up-to-date video card drivers, and then restart your computer. Typically resolves the issue for those that have reported it.

Let us know if the steps provided don't resolve this issue for you and I will re-open the ticket. For now marking resolved.
