All games directx error and more

[SiskoVFX]

Hi,

A few days ago I came back from the gym and started my pc back up to play a game and all of a sudden it gives me a directx error. I tried opening different games and none of them will open or work properly. Most of them give the same directx error. I'm pretty sure I didn't download or do anything with my pc at all, in fact I think I played a game that same day in the morning. Not just games but my pc in general has also been acting slow after this.

Things I've tried:
- restarting pc
- updating gpu drivers
- downgrading to older gpu driver
- tried to upgrade to latest directx version, told me that I already had the latest version
- downloaded a program to see drivers that need to be updated > none
- defragmanted C drive
- reinstalled windows (quick version where I keep all my data and apps)

PC specs:
windows 10 home 64 bit
intel core i5-8400 2.80ghz (6)
12gb ram
geforce gtx 1060 3gb

I'm at a complete loss as I don't know what could've been the action to initiate all these problems. Any suggestion would help a ton since I've already tried a lot of things I found on other forums and youtube videos, which none of them seemed to make things better.

Hi sorry for the late response, I posted this thread right before I went to bed.

Every game gives me a different kind of error message but most of them come down to a directx error.
Here's a few examples:
- League of legends: An unknown DirectX error has occurred and League of Legends cannot start. Please make sure your video card is using the latest vidfeo drivers from the manufacturer
- Cuphead: Failed to initialize Direct3D. Make sure you have at least DirectX 9.0c installed, have drivers for your
graphics card and have not disabled 3D acceleration
- Rocket League: Your video card does not support alpha blending with floating point render targets, which is required to run this game.
- Wallpaper engine: video error occured c00d36fa

I've tried looking up solutions for these errors individually in hopes of finding a general solution for the other games aswell, but no luck. Black ops 3 seems to work fine for some reason by the way.

Side note: I've also realised that when I open task manager, the drive seems to be at 100% or close to it whenever I start a game but it doesn't seem to be a single specific task causing the problem

you should run DxDiag and generate a report and post. dxdiag is part of the directx stuff in windows, should be installed already

Tried this before aswell but it tells me that everything is fine (same on display 2)

did you try reinstalling the game?

I tried reinstalling league of legends but no change. I also tried removing the CMOS battery directly from my motherboard and putting it back in after a minute or so but no luck

you need to stress test the gpu to rule that out I guess

Did a pretty long run of ~15 minutes. No opengl errors and most of the time around 70°C. Looks like the gpu is fine

Do you have direct x 9 installed?

Do you have direct x 9 installed?

I've tried but whenever I try to download a version of directx it tells me I already have the latest version of directx and I don't need an install. dxdiag tells me I have directx 12

 

[kerberos_20]

Directx 9 is not installed by default, ull need to download it from microsoft
atm by default only dx 10/11/12 is installed
Dx 9 needs different api libraries, some games includes them when they get installed

Downloaded 9.0c from the windows website. It says Directx 9 can only be downloaded for these windows OS. I've been running all of my games for no problem for the past 2 years but suddenly out of nowhere I get these errors and I can't start any game at all. Would've been weird if I was running my games without dx 9 for the past 2 years

I tried DDU and after deleting the driver I could launch a game, though at max 8 fps. After installing the newest driver I got back to square one with the games not launching again.. I've also tried restarting my pc with only 1 monitor connected but it didn't help

issue with driver? u can try few different drivers

Yeah that's what I was thinking, even though no one else on geforce forums has been having this issue. I'll try an older driver tomorrow.
