Hey guys, I'm really struggling here and could use some insights! I started having problems with Batman Arkham Knight when it wouldn't launch at all due to the July build error. After some troubleshooting, I installed the DirectX End-User Runtimes and Visual C++ Redistributables, which allowed it to launch, but it crashes within 3-4 minutes of gameplay. Then, I tried to play GTA V with my brother, and it crashed almost immediately each time I started. In response to these issues, I reinstalled Windows completely—cleaning the drives and starting fresh—but the problems persisted. Now, I'm facing crashes and got an ERR_GFX_STATE error while playing GTA V. I also conducted stress tests on my hardware: FurMark ran fine, but Unigine Heaven crashed quickly, and all the usual fixes didn't help. It seems that crashes are specific to DX11 games. Any thoughts on what could be going on?

Sounds like you've done quite a bit of troubleshooting. First off, what are your system specs? If the crashes only happen in those specific games, there could be issues with the games themselves or your drivers rather than hardware problems. But if you find crashes during any performance tests, then it could be a hardware issue. Just something to keep in mind!
I've tried running FurMark, which was stable for about 15 minutes, but Unigine Heaven crashes right away at 1440p. I'm planning to run more tests on CPU and RAM soon and will keep you posted!
