Well, after a full Windows re-install, the Dot-Net and Windows Update problem seems to be gone. I used Virtual CloneDrive this time instead of Daemon Tools but after installing Crysis 3 again, the same "dxgi_error_device_removed" error pops up as soon as i try to start the campaign in the game. After some light googling, it seems that my gpu might be malfunctioning so I am going to test another GPU as soon as i can to eliminate that possibility. Thank you very much for the quick responses! ?

Hi there, First time posting, and I hope I checked every box of the "Read before you post" sticky Just built my first system in a long while (mostly from used parts, though all coming from running pc's) and after finally installing Windows 10 (from an iso straight from MS) and getting everything up and running, I installed steam and 3DMark demo and basically any bench I run, the error msg "dxgi_error_device_removed" appears, and the run is halted. This happens many times, and updating the graphics driver changes nothing and after all that, more errors start coming. I suddenly got an error message saying that I need to install .Net framework 4.5.2 every time I try to open DAEMON Tools Lite, and trying to open Discord presents me with the error "Update.exe - Application error. The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000135)." I click yes on the .Net error and it starts the install process, but after a little while it hits me with "HRESULTS 0x80240017" From there I go and check out Windows Update, and sure enough, there is an update available called "2019-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64 based Systems (KB4497935)" I hastily click on update now, the update finishes and it asks me to restart the computer, which I do, but upon entering the OS, it prompts me again to install the same update, which fails every time i try to perform it. After a touch of googling, I found some threads mentioning both an SFC scan and a DISM check, and neither one finds any errors. So to simplify: windows update = broken .Net framework = broken benchmarking = broken OS - Windows 10 2019 - 64 bit MB - Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H (used) Bios - F5 AMD AGESA KaveriPI V0.0.8.1 01/09/2014 CPU - AMD A8-6600K (used) RAM - 2x4GB DDR3 (used) GPU - Sapphire R9 295x2 8GB (used) PSU - Corsair AX860i (new) OS drive - Samsung 830 128GB SSD Steam library drive - Seagate desktop 2TB Nothing in the system is Overclocked I don't know how to describe my problems better, but if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!
