Hello, game is crashing on first pixel of every load-up. Desperately need help please

Hi. Each time I load up WoW, the very first image I see of the game, even before the login boxes load in, the game crashes. Most of the time I can’t even close out of WoW after it crashes like this, even through the task manager. WoW is the only game this happens to. I’ve tried the following:

  • Removing addons

  • Reinstalling WoW (multiple times)

  • Reinstalling Battle.net launcher

  • If you google this, you’ll find an old reddit thread with the -d3d11 fix. I’ve tried this.

  • Booting up WoW from the desktop shortcut, not launcher, and as admin.

  • Scan & repair in the Battle.net launcher WoW settings menu

  • Obviously re-setting PC

  • Updating motherboard and graphics card

Since I’ve removed & reinstalled WoW, my “first pixel crash” is no longer on the beginning of the TWW login screen, it is now at the Photosensitivity Warning when you first install the game.

If I try enough times, WoW doesn’t even open from the launcher anymore, nor is it anywhere in task manager.

Any advice is much appreciated, thank you.

Post a DxDiag on Pastebin and share the link here.

Hi! So sorry, I didn’t see this reply earlier.

I don’t think your monitor is plugged into your GPU, or it’s not reporting one. There’s definitely a monitor attached to the onboard GPU.
