So basically ever since I've updated my nvidia drivers I haven't been able to load any games. But I am able to load them up in directx 9 but only works for a moment before crashing or having a frozen screen. When I get it working in directx 9 its the screen is covered with the same pixels in the image attached. Please help me solve this issue. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, the games, using ddu, and installing previous or even older drivers but nothing has worked. Does this have to do with hardware issues rather than software issues? Many thanks
