Long story short I can't play most of my installed games. They either crash after about 10 seconds of being open (in this case it's Space engineers), or they don't launch at all (CS:GO, Killing Floor, Skyrim, FO:NV, Red Orchestra, Planetside 2, and even 3d Mark). I doubt it's a steam issue because Arma 3, Warthunder, Farcry 4, Binding of Isaac and FTL all work fine, and my temps are completely fine (I have the card overclocked) and monitored through 4 applications.
Every time the game crashes I receive the typical "Program has stopped responding" and see that nvd3dum.dll is the fault module. I've tried reinstalling .Net, DirectX, and my nvidia drivers. I'm currently on 344.75, but I've tried 347.09 and 347.25.
All of my games were working fine about a week and a half ago, and all of a sudden they just started crashing (CS:GO was the first). Funnily enough it's the nvidia gameworks titles that work (along with Binding of isaac and FTL). The only thing that I could think did this was that I updated my drivers through Geforce Experience. Other than that I have no idea what caused this.
Specs:
i7 4790k @Stock clocks (temps are fine on this)
Noctua NH-U12P SE2
GA-Z97X-Gaming 7
Crucial Ballistix sport 8gb (tested these with memtest86, they passed after 12 hours of testing)
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 (have it overclocked +150 base clock and +290 on the memory, tried stock and still wouldn't launch my games. Temps are fine and the OC is stable after Unigine Heaven and long sessions in Farcry, Arma and Warthunder.)
PCPower&Cooling Silencer MkIII 600 watt (I had my old rig with a phenom 2 x4 965 and 7870 run fine on it - and I think those used more power than this rig)
Benq 120hz 1080p Monitor
Asus 60hz 1080p Monitor
Any help would be much appreciated.
