DirectX function errors
Hello, Every since the last Nvidia updates (mid-March) and latest BF2042 updates, the game is almost unplayable. I get DirectX crashes almost everytime I run the game at boot, or when connecting to...

Hello,
I have attached the mb_mem_bios_info text file. And the screenshots are below (DxDiag, CMD commands before and after reboot). All tests are successful.
@iElessar Jo, sorry for late response !
there is a new bios update for youre system.

DONT FORGET:
“Before BIOS update, please download Intel ME update tool from ASUS support site, and update ME firmware to Version 16.1.25.2124 to ensure optimized system settings.”
Update youre firmware and then bios, now do a clearcmos .
Test youre game, if there is still a problem , read below.
Youre memory seems to be supported , i see you got a 2 sets of 2x16gb CMT32GX5M2X6200C36
Did ya try to use only memory modules in bank A2 and B2 , so ya got 32gb installed ?
Test game with only 2 memory modules installed.
I did read ya got issues if ya XMP the memory.
Its possible 1 of the memory modules if faulty/broken
If test with 2 memory modules is till an issue , then test each memory apart from each other.
Use only 1 memory module each time and test game.
Update us please !

- @Rokebo73 No success even after BIOS update, tried different RAM sticks and slots combos, nothing.
- @iElessar did ya test with just only 1 ram stick each time ?
So there is only 16gb memory installed ?
Use bank number a1 or a2 to test game , with just 1 ram stick
cheersI have done the following:
- Clean OS installation
- BIOS update
I did do a test with 1 RAM stick, in each slot. See the table for the results:
So first of all, thank you for the suggestion. By looking at the result of the test, note the following:
- One RAM stick could be faulty -
- I tried 2 sticks of RAM in A1/B1 - Battlefield had graphical issues, similar to what I had before.
- One RAM stick works perfectly fine - all games work (most cases games ran on the first try properly)
- 2 or more RAM sticks together is causing the issue apparently. Looking at the table, I'd say the best combo is A1/B1. Yet, all sticks had at least one minor issue where I had to try again with the game.
I did not do a BIOS reset yet. XMP is disabled. But at least now, I can play properly (played for 2 hours + on a single stick of RAM with no issues at all).
Now I need to verify which pair of RAM is causing the issue. Or to be safe, get a new pair.
I also checked that these 2 pairs are identical in terms of speed, voltage, etc.
Finally, I did a MemTest for more than an hour yesterday, no errors were found.
