Hey guys, I have two questions that I need to have answered. I'm getting all kind of weard error messages in my log and directX errors whilst playing bf1 (i bf1 always after like 1 minute) In other games I get a directX error after 2/3 hours gametime. It looks something like DirectXerror: Getdiviceremoved(gtx970)  Reinstalling drivers won't help. https://gyazo.com/f5db11a6534c54d778de859a708453cc ----> screenshot of the windows log. That brings me to my two questions:
1. Can I get rid of these errors without doing a clean windows install?
2. Can I perform a clean install of windows 10 (which I am currently using) With my 8.1 licence + CD?

All suggestions are welcome :)

Well, sometimes my screen turns off for 10 - 20 sec. The DirectX error is crashing my whole pc. It gets stuck on a brown screen and after 2 minutes it sometimes just continues and shows me the directX error message.

Be sure to quote someone if you want their attention.

 

You say that reinstalling GPU drivers hasn't helped? I'd try again anyway. Use a free application called Display Driver Uninstaller to get rid of your current drivers and then redownload the latest ones from NVIDIA's website.

If that didn't help... tricky... it's possible something went wrong during W10's install process. A clean install might be in order. You shouldn't need your 8.1 disk for this, just reset it to factory settings.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

I would suggest you to uninstall the video driver and direct X software, then shutting down and restarting your pc and then installing them again.

Resetting it to factory settings will still make me lose all my files, programs etc?

Yes. You should back up your important files first.
