[EA app] Dragon Age Origins won't launch

Trying to play Dragon Age Origins an I keep getting the below error. I've tried downloading the Nividia thing one post said to download, I've tried the whole 'Programs -> EA Games -> DA -> vc etc and none of it has worked. I'm about to rip out my hair. I have a Windows 10? if that matters.

If you have a AMD or Intel GPU go here > Download PhysX > Install > Restart the PC > Test

If you have a NVIDIA GPU and you have the latest driver installed, go here > Download PhysX > Install > Restart the PC > Test.

If that don't helps, create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

How do I figure out which one I have? I know basically the bare minimum to be able to play games.

Thanks so much for actually reading my response to your first message and explaining the difference between the two potential things seeing how when I clicked both links the only difference was one was in a different language than the other. That was extremely helpful. Thankfully, it seems I was just dumb, the nivida thing I posted in my starter post worked I just didn't restart my laptop like a dummy. That's on me.

The links in my post lead to two different Phsix versions and with the DxDiag I could have told you what GPU you have.
