Game crashes, Direct X Error

So I bought the game yesterday from Steam and now for 2 days I have tried pretty much everything I could find to fix this problem. Every time I try to launch the game it will just crashes directly at the start with this error message (Direct X error, it's in French in the photo), at some rare occasions I actually got into the game, but it still crashed a few minutes later. It would really help me if anyone knows how to fix this, because I really tried everything and still can't launch the game.

This video shows how to enable the Intel Baseline power profile on Gigabyte motherboards. Which will limit the CPU to 250 watts.
The setting is under Advaned CPU Settings / Turbo Power Limits Option. Set it to Intel Baseline.

Here's a post explaining how Intel sold millions of defective 13th and 14th gen processors. Intel has extended the warranty to two years for people experiencing instability issues that cause games to crash.

@OskooI_007 @Guinishir
in his screenshots its flashed and enabled.
But he still got issuesh
So maybe bios did not (full) reset, why i advised him to do a cmos reset.
If he still got directx errors, then maybe its related to.
Memory at system thats not in the QVL (or different batch numbers!),
or not in the correct slots? (maybe faulty ram?)
Damaged/faulty CPU ?
Or the assembling of the cpu cooler isnt done correctly, to loose or maybe to tight screwed down.
Or even maybe CPU PASTE not at whole cpu ?

I hope he will solve his issue!
