So for the past month, ever since I rebuilt/upgraded my rig, I have been stuck and lost trying to solve my games crashing randomly, and specifically getting the (err_gfx_d3d) in Grand Theft Auto V. I have literally tried every single possible solution, from countless Reddit posts, various tech forums, and videos.
I initially thought that these issues had something to do with my 3050, and the Nvidia drivers. But I tried uninstalling my drivers with DDU, and installing the newest drivers from GeForce Experience, and I tried downloading/updating the drivers by installing the driver file from the Nvidia drivers page. I also tried installing older versions of the gpu driver to see if that would worked, but still had no luck. I then tried swapping my RTX 3050 with a basically unused GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition. After removing the old drivers with DDU, and updating/installing the correct updated drivers for the 1080Ti. I installed GTA on a new Samsung 980 SSD, and booted up the game and was able to play the game normally for about 20-30 minutes before the game crashed with the same error message.
At this point I was pretty pissed and felt like the issue wouldn’t get resolved. And the crash message “err_gfx_d3d” has been an issue with GTA for a while.
I did everything I could think off and read. From reinstalling DirectX stuff from the Microsoft page. And reinstalling the vcredist_x64 and x86. But still couldn’t fix the problem. These problems would happen every now and then on my old motherboard, the one I swapped out. Which was an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II. And my old cpu was a RYZEN 7 5600X. Both the R7 5600X and the ASUS B550-F mobo I had gotten as Christmas presents December of 2022. And had been working fine until my games started to crash way more frequently 1-2 months ago.
Literally 2 weeks ago, I had saved up enough $ to buy a new motherboard and CPU at Best Buy and built my pc again, using the same GPU and PSU (Corsair CV550 W (550watts)). I also used the same ram, but got new drives.
I also have experienced my games on Steam and Epic Games crashing for no reason. (example: Fortnite, Squad, Battle Bit) Roblox has also started to crash; out of nowhere, the Roblox window would freeze and it would say Roblox isn’t responding, after around 30 minutes to an hour of playing. I also have tried using a different monitor and HDMI/dp cable. And I forgot to mention that I have tried reinstalling windows 10 and 11 (fresh installs) multiple times and then after reinstalling the clean installation, re trying all the steps and possible fixes that I mentioned I already tried above.
I hope that one of y’all can help me figure out a solution or at least provide some helpful information.
