Black Screen Directx 11.2 Whilst Gaming
Hey Guys, I was given Farcry 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition for christmas (both of which are Directx 11 games). I can not seem to play them as i get a black screen when i start them, I know these issues are vastly discussed on billions of sites but i can't seem to find any that fully relate to me.

I had this problem with World of Warcraft in which i just went into the WTF.config and forced it to load in directx 9, now the game runs fine. The problem is that these games only run on directx 11 so it's pretty ♥♥♥♥ that i can't play either of them.

My Laptop specs:
Build: MSI GE70-2OC
CPU: Intel i7-4700MQ quad core
GPU: Nvidia GT750M 2gb
Ram: 16gb
OS: Windows 8.1
Directx: 11.2

No reason why these games wouldn't work, i play every other game completely fine that aren't directx 11 -_-

What i've done so far:
-Reinstall GPU drivers, audio drivers and java (didn't know if it mattered)
-Set the computer to only run these games on my Dedicated graphics card
-Tried the windowed mode fix, waited for about an hour at the black screen to see if it would work eventually, it didn't.
-I even reinstalled both games.
-I contacted Microsoft to see if there was a work-around for directx 11.2 to reinstall or repair it and they said only if i pay them $150us to "attempt" to fix it, lol.

Happens as soon as i open the games every time, no sound, sometimes windowed, sometimes full screen. Does ANYONE have any clue whatsoever!?!?

I have MSI afterburner and Trend security but i have disabled both in an attempt to rectify the issue but nothing happened :/ And sorry about the name haha, it just stuck ages ago in world of warcraft! I'll change it though >:P (Not a meth-addict btw, never even tried meth)
