DirectX crashes/driver issues
I note in a pinned post from 2014, an EA rep said EA/Bioware are working with NVIDIA on a solution for DirectX and driver CTDs. I'm hoping for a progress update, because this problem is driving me spare. I've attempted a multitude of fixes that can be found around the traps, but to no avail. Bioware make wonderful games, but in it's current state, DA:I is unplayable, which is a real shame.
@Rhinoman80 Was worth checking, anyway. I found the GTX 570 was quite reliable with this game (other than overheating, but that only happened on 40C+ days). Of course, being computers, our systems also have many differences so what worked in mine won't necessarily work in yours, I don't even have the same version of Windows. 😛
There is something else in your dxdiag, several AppHangB1 crashes with Inquisition. I'd first suggest you do a system file scan, which will check if there are errors with important OS files and hopefully fix them. You will want to close unnecessary programs such as your web browser, media player, Origin, etc. before starting. You might want to create a restore point before doing anything like this, just in case.
First, you will need to launch command prompt (cmd.exe) as an administrator. Unsure about Windows 10, but in Windows 7 you can find command prompt in Accessories, or by searching for cmd in the start menu search bar. Right click and choose 'run as administrator'.
In command prompt, type " sfc /scannow". Let it run (it may take a few minutes), once finished it should tell you that it either found no errors, it found errors and fixed them, or it found errors but was unable to fix all (or any) of them.
If it fixed errors or didn't find any, restart your computer, and do it again. If it finds and fixes errors again, keep restarting and running sfc until it comes back with no errors found, would be best if you get the 'no errors found' response twice (after rebooting... so in order you would reboot, run sfc, find no errors, reboot, run sfc, find no errors, yay).
If it found errors but couldn't fix them, or found no errors, or you've completed the step above after finding & fixing errors, you should also run DISM (this can only be done on Windows 8 & up, you have Windows 10 so I assume you can use it).
Once again in the command prompt (as an administrator), type "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" (be sure to include the spaces). This could take around half an hour (or less, maybe more). Once that's finished, reboot and run sfc /scannow again, just to be sure.
Sorry if that's all nonsensical or badly worded, words are being a problem for me at the moment. 😳
Anyway, after doing all that, try playing the game, see if you still get issues.
One other thing that's probably nothing, but it'll bug me if I don't ask... is your monitor plugged into your video card or your motherboard? Just wondering.
@ColdSnowLight Please include a dxdiag. 🙂 (A brief overview of your hardware, without even mentioning what version of Windows you're running, isn't all that useful for trying to determine what's going wrong). 'Changed stuff on the GeForce experience etc' does not really give us an idea of what you've tried to fix your problem. Do these problems happen in single player, or only multiplayer? Do you get the same error message as the OP about video card drivers? Your second post suggests you have different issues entirely.
This sticky explains how to generate and post a dxdiag and what information will be useful to include when you ask for help. 😉
Also, do not follow the steps I've suggested for RhinoMan, as you don't necessarily have the same problem.
