Hi
My PC: 5600x rysen--B550-A-PRO--16gb 3600mhz ram gskill--3060ti msi--750w corsair psu--m.2 drive 1tb--be quiet cou cooler
My problem: My computer crashes while playing games like GTA 5, PUBG, or CSGO in GTA 5. It shows "Direct X failed to initiate" in one game and just crashes in others. It works for a short time (5 to 20 minutes) before stopping again.
What I tried: Performed a full Windows reset with all data wiped and reinstalled drivers using IO Driver Booster 8, updated GPU drivers via GeForce Experience, checked the power connection on the GPU, confirmed Direct X version 12, swapped my GPU (GTX 1060 6gb), and ensured update drivers were correctly installed. Still faced the same issues. I stress tested the GPU and CPU temperatures, and they are normal. When playing games, I monitor the temps and everything seems fine.
If you can assist, it would be really helpful.
Thank you.
I usually avoid third-party driver finder or installer tools. Even if they come from reputable companies, they can be risky or unreliable. There aren't many drivers I need to update regularly, except for the GPU after everything else is set up, and the support section on the product page usually lists those updates. I obtain my GPU drivers directly from Nvidia's official page, reviewing the release notes to understand new features, products, or fixes, as well as any known problems. If I'm unsure, I also look at reviews of the latest version to compare it with previous ones. Then I use a trusted driver cleaner in Safe Mode (DDU), to fully eliminate the...

The number of drivers you need to update is limited, mainly just the GPU once others are set up, and the support section on your product page usually lists them.
I obtain my GPU drivers directly from Nvidia's official driver site, and I always review the release notes to understand any new features, products, or fixes, as well as any known issues. If uncertain, I also look at reviews of the latest version to compare it with previous ones.
Next, I use a trusted driver cleaner in Safe Mode (DDU) to fully remove the old driver, and only then do I install the new one after rebooting to desktop. This doesn’t guarantee permanent issues, though occasional problems may still occur if a faulty driver is released.
The problem seems related to how and where you source the driver, as well as the installation method.
Given that you're using a relatively new CPU model, it might be helpful to check your BIOS version and consult the BIOS section of your MB's product support page to see if an updated version is required. I'm fairly certain this issue mainly involves the GPU driver, which usually causes DirectX errors.
