Game not starting on Pc, have tried nearly everything. help.

I have tried with steam and Ea and in both cases the same thing happens: I start the game, the easy anti cheat window opens, says initializing, says waiting on game, then closes and doesn't open the game. 

ive tried almost everything at this point, installed the latest drivers, ive uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times across both platforms, repaired the game and checked file integrity multiple times, removed easy anti cheat from the game files and repairing it again, trying to run the easy anti cheat EOS setup in game files (it will open what i think is a command promt for less than a second before auto closing), ive run the game directly through my files with administrator, ive tried to look in my files and repair easy anti cheat outside of the game files, and i physically dont have an easy anti cheat installer.exe in my files! and when i try to open the other easy anti cheat EOS files it does the same thing as the ones in the game files. ive restarted my pc, uninstalled and reinstalled ea entirely, Ive run checks on all of my computers system files to check for corrupted ones, ive disabled every overlay, ive run the computer on a clean boot, ive tried disabling malwarebytes, ive deleted some things that may bave been conflicting with EAC, but nothing has worked and the same thing always happens. i have zero idea what to do anymore and at this point im wondering if easy anti cheat just doesn't like some part in my PC or something.

    so.. the only solution is to completely wipe everything off my pc.. yeah, thats not an option for me. I have too much on here to make it any bit worthwhile to wipe it

    You can save your files on an USB or an external Hard drive to save your files, because its not the files that cause the problem its the windows installation, so if you have an hard drive that windows is not allocated on you can copy those files on your C drive to your other drive and then your files wont be wiped.

    My solution was just to reinstall my GPU drivers again, and now it works perfectly.
