DirectX games throwing up errors upon entering game

[scotthkinsey]

Ff14 and Civilisation 6 have been having directx crashing errors. I've monitored my temperatures, updated my gfx driver and have been researching for an answer and I'm at my wits end. I don't have anything overclocked etc.

I have ran the windows memory diagnostic tool, no problems. I've ran the heaven benchmark tool and the screen goes black approximately 10 seconds in, but the music still plays. I've done a clean, all files deleted, reinstall of Windows to no avail. I'm not sure what else to try.

To clarify, it's just the games throwing up the error. Sometimes there's an issue with sound repeating in quick succession like when someone talks. And other times it all seems fine.

EDIT: Throwing in some updates here.

I can play League of Legends with no issue.

I installed DDU, entered safemode and ran it. Reinstalled the graphics driver directly from Nvidia, unchecked all boxes except for the graphics driver. Problem still persists.

The heaven benchmark tool crashes every time I use it, after a couple of seconds.

A development. I was playing Hollow Knight, a nice looking game, not what I'd consider too tough on a GPU. It came to a moment where I obtained an ability, the item explodes in to a fair amount of particles and the game freezes (Sound, however, continues on without issue.)

Problem still persisting. Still seeking assistance

I've purchased a new GPU, since I can't figure out any other reason why I'd be having these issues and I can't find any solutions online. I'll report back if this does anything. (It'll arrive Friday.)

D-Day has arrived. Graphics Card installed. Ran one of the problematic games, some slight graphical anomalies on the Brands when loading. Game itself was perfectly fine.

Ran Heaven Benchmark until it started to repeat itself. 0 issues.

It would appear my card was the issue, however granted I've only done 2 tests. This, however, has had a massive improvement from dying 20 seconds in to most games.

I believe this thread can be closed as solved.
