    @Tscribblesss  Your dxdiag crashed while running and is therefore missing some information.  This could be a random blip or a sign of a more serious issue, so please start with a couple of basic checks of your Windows system files:

    • Hit Windows key-X
    • Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
    • Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes, and enter
    • The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
    • After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
    • Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator)”
    • Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes, and enter
    • Post the message you receive here

    Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates.  If any install, restart again afterwards.

    The dxdiag does list a number of errors of the Nvidia graphics driver, so please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the driver.  Here's how:

    You can get a fresh copy of the newest Nvidia driver here:

    If the above doesn't help, try running your primary monitor at 120 Hz rather than 165.  You can change it under Windows Settings > System > Display > Advanced.

    If that doesn't help either, please post a new dxdiag.
