Re: Need for Speed 2015 crashing constantly, severely overpowered system.

Yes, it's my main monitor. The driver wizard reported that I already had the best drivers installed, when I tried installing the ones on the homepage.

    I also tried running the game in compatible mode for windows 8. I am on windows 10.

    Something that is worth a try, especially with Windows 10 is manually running the following secondary installers as an Administrator (right click, run as admin.)

    Origin Games\Need for Speed\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist\vcredist_x86.exe

    Origin Games\Need for Speed\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist\vcredist_x64.exe

    Again, let us know how that goes. Thanks.

  • Installed both, same error. :/

    Is there any way you could give me more things to try each time? There is a day or so between answers which makes it a slow process to only try one thing each try.

    A few more things to try:

    • Connect your GPU and monitor with a HDMI cable
    • Reset GPU default settings via nvidia control panel
    • Do not overclock your GPU or CPU
    • Run the video driver installer again and choose 'clean install'

    hey man, reinstall windows. you have a corrupt file according to dxdiag, the program that DIAGNOSES DIRECT X programs lol

  • There has to be some way to replace the dll file with a fresh one without a friggin clean install of the entire rig.
