EA app glitches out when i launch

Every time I launch Sims the whole EA app glitches out starts acting like its gonna launch then closes. I have to use task manager to do anything from there and thats a timing game to be able to click ea before is disappears again to close it fully. I've tried verifying game files through steam, clearing cache on EA, uninstalling both ea and sims, running sims as admin and deleting and reinstalling my drivers. I used curse forge mods previously so i uninstalled all of the mods in the mod folder still nothing.

    @Lunafox447  You attached the dxdiag fine.  First of all, please plug your monitor directly into the graphics card rather than into the motherboard as is currently the case.  I like to borrow this diagram from someone else:

    This alone may help, but if it doesn't, use Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) to clean-uninstall the EA app.  Restart your computer, download a fresh copy of the installer, and run it.  Please let me know whether your game library loads properly, and if so, whether Sims 4 works.
