Question FIFA 21 glitching and crashing & other games simply crashing ?

From what I found on the internet, these errors seem to be related to controllers on pc but I'm using keyboard and mouse only.
Since yesterday, I whenever I try to play FIFA 21, the game glitches on the kit selection screen and an error (https://ibb.co/1qLNQz2) pops up crashing the game. If I manage to get past the kit selection screen, it gives me another but similar error (https://ibb.co/qC6mMyM). I tried playing RDR2 and there's just black screen after loading is complete and I can only hear the audio (birds, etc) but no display and when I touch the movement keys, the game crashes with this error (https://ibb.co/pdTYr8D). Similarly, Forza Horizon 5 crashes while loading (without any error dialog).

Things I tried:
  1. Changed the dx_select from 0 to 1 using notepad in Documents > FIFA 21 > fifasetup.ini
  2. Disabled full screen optimizations of FIFA.exe from properties
  3. Made sure I had latest drivers in GeForce Experience
  4. Physically removed and re-inserted the graphics card
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

brand and model of the psu?
Thanks for suggesting. It is Cooler Master 230V MWE 550. This pc was built in 2019 if it helps. I have edited my post to add these points. I have never faced any problems playing any games since 2019. It all occured suddenly.
