Constant crashes and graphical glitches.

Hi, I recently bought DAI and i'm only 5 minutes into the game and i'm getting constant crashes forcing me to restart my PC. Also in the beginning 5 minutes there are really bad graphical glitches which consist of green and blue dots appearing and disappearing non stop. And then the game crashes. I'm running on automatic settings and the only thing that I did change was turning off Vsync. Here are my system specs:

Any help would be great.

@Fred_vdp I used the program you recommended and reinstalled my drivers and that solved the graphic glitches. Thank you

@THEDOBINATOR6000 Thanks for including a dxdiag. 🙂

Drive: C: Free Space: 4.3 GB Total Space: 953.8 GB File System: NTFS Model: ST1000DM003-1CH162 ATA Device

This is the only hard drive listed in your dxdiag... It is very full, and likely to cause issues with more than just your games (do you find things take a long time to load?). I'd recommend cleaning it up, defragging it (try to free up space first), and if possible getting a second hard drive and perhaps installing games etc. on the second hard drive.

I may be missing something blindingly obvious, but this is the only thing that stands out to me in your dxdiag. Haven't seen a hard drive that full in a long, long time.

The Radeon Crimson drivers have caused some shading glitches in games running on the Frostbite 3 engine. It's advisable to do a clean installation of the most recent graphics drivers by first removing the existing installation with DDU. This ensures that there is no driver corruption.

Secondly, it's a good idea to disable shader caching in the Radeon control panel. This feature is meant to decrease load times in games, but it can also result in glitches.

@THEDOBINATOR6000 I'd still recommend freeing up some space on your hard drive, if possible. Glad you got your graphical glitches fixed, though 🙂
