This has been happening for me since the patch a week ago. From what I can dig up, the explanation is: "The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed.". STO is the only game I have ever seen this in but I did find a
thread over on the Steam boards referring to the same issue in Neverwinter a year ago.

Drivers tried: 16.1 Hotfix, 15.11.1, and 15.12, all of which have this issue but yet games like BioShock Infinite and Arkham Knight on max ultra settings runs fine for hours.
