EVERY game crashes. All of them

[Webb]

I don't understand what is going on. Literally every game that I own crashes. Arma 3, Total War: Warhammer, Civ VI, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2.

All of my drivers are up to date.

Any ideas or suggestions?

It could be an external program that interferes, here is a list of what could be: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9828-SFLZ-9289&l=english

When does it crash?
When did it start to happen?

[Webb]

It's all really random and always says to say something about video drivers. But everything is up to date. EVERYTHING, I've made sure of this. And it's across many different games. I really don't notice a rhyme or reason for it. Not a startup issue, it crashes during the game.

Tell us that something

Warhammer doesn't say, it just freezes and I hear the sound and music but the screen is frozen but I can hear if I click something. Just have to hard close it.

Diablo 3: "Diablo 3 was unable to initialize D3D"

Civ VI: "DISPLAY DEVICE HAS FAILED, PLEASE ENSURE YOUR DISPLAY DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE"

Dragon Age: "DirectX function GetDeviceRemovedReason failed with dxgi_error_device_hung"

So you're having a problem with the directx as far as I can see.

Any suggestions on how to fix that?

I have DirectX 12

[ErGaviota]

Well, what is causing the problem is the directx, you have to check if it is in the latest version.

[Webb]

DirectX 12 is the latest version as far as I know.

[ErGaviota]

But within DirectX 12 they have versions and updates.

[Webb]

Those are updated with Windows updates as far as I understand from reading, and my Windows 10 is up to date. Is there a way to be absolutely sure that my DirectX 12 is the current version and updated besides updating Windows?
