@Smitty0004 Your computer's graphics driver is not up to date, and that's the place to start because a couple of the errors in your dxdiag are crashes of that driver. Here's the newest one from Nvidia:

Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator." Choose the Custom (not Express) install method and check the box to perform a clean install. Restart your computer afterwards and before trying to play.
You can also try disabling Raytracing, which helps in some cases.
One other fix that has helped a few people get around this type of crash is restoring all your hardware to base clocks, including disabling XMP in BIOS. You of course shouldn't need to, but it might get you past this particular crash, at which point you can restore your previous settings.
Also, I've merged your post with the master thread for crashes during this fight so that all the relevant info is in one place.
I appreciate the help. Downloaded the latest driver (the NVidia control panel said I had the latest one, but I downloaded the one you linked anyway). Went back into the game and it crashed again. this time with the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error.
After that I went in and disabled ray tracing and that seemed to fix it. "Beat" the Vader Fight on the very next login. Thanks for the help!!!
