MSI GTX970 - many games don't start "game.exe has stopped working"

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my new MSI GTX970. I have several games that just won't work.
Working games:
Witcher 2
Guild Wars 2
Project CARS in DX9 Mode
Not working games:
Project CARS in DX11 Mode
Battlefield 4
Assetto Corsa
Thief
Even dxdiag "stopped working" when testing the Direct3D Stuff
Most likely I think this is some driver issue but I have no idea how to resolve it? My "old" R9 290X was running without any problems. I did 2 clean installs of Windows 8.1 but it didn't help.
I'm running the latest nvidia driver of course but I'm a bit lost now - do you have any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks
Dan

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".

    Hello! You've posted your question in the iPhoto for iOS forum. This forum is for questions about using Apple's iPhoto.app on an iPhone or iPad. Do you have an iPhone or iPad that you're synchronizing pictures with your PC? If so, you should probably post your question in the Using iPhone or Using iPad forum. We can also ask the Hosts to move this topic into the correct forum if we know which hardware device you're using.

  • When I start my PC I get a message that ApplePhotoStreame.exe has stopped working. How do I fix this?

    Upon starting my PC I get a message that ApplePhotoStream.exe has stopped working. Windows will close the program and advise if a solution is found. Nothing happens and I can no longeer send photos from my ipad2 to my computer using PhotoStream. Please, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you

    You are on pc or mac?  I think pc.   Below is a link that gives the steps, and it suggests you need to down load a controller, and then it tells you how to set it up.  See if this helps any.

  • Itunes 9.1 wont start, says itunes has stopped working

    I have a windows vista home premium 32 bit gateway laptop/pc, with a wired connection for internet. I have had no trouble for 3 years with past itunes but now with 9.0 and 9.1 it simply just wont start at all. When I double click on itunes I get, "itunes has stopped working and windows will notify you if a solution is avaible". I have tried to talk to numerous apple specialists but no can do because for them to troubleshoot with you, one has to own an apple product like ipod with serial number for them to actually help. I got rid of my ipod a long time ago, so I guess the option of talking to a non-robotic person will not work for some reason. A specialist gave me over 10 articles as to why itunes wont start with windows vista, things such as msconfig (changing startup options), uninstalling and reinstalling, having latest updates for firewall, itunes, among others which I already possess, Opening itunes on another user account and other too. I've tried all of these options and the only thing that I gained from all of these articles was I can open itunes on my different user account but when I do, it does not have any of my music on it. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it before and the music has automatically showed up in itunes, but in the user account it does not do this. Does anyone know what the problem could be, it shouldn't be that hard for apple to provide a specialist to sit down after 30 minutes of eating there creme filled donuts and actually provide some customer service for the first time in history. Rhapsody has sat down for 2 and half hours and fixed my problem many times, (there based in the middle east and I can hardly understand them yet they were way more effient than itunes was). All I want is my precious metal music back which I poured over 100 dollars into. Thank you for everybodies support in trying to help me and others with same topic.

    +I have checked in task manager and the programs itunes.exe and ituneshelper.exe are in the processes window but the program is not visible on the desktop.+
    that usually means your security software is blocking it. Norton, McAfee, or whatever you use - try temporarily shutting it off and see if itunes will fully launch.

  • TS3989 I get a message on my computer saying "applephotostream.exe has stopped working."  I don't know how to fix it. Help!

    Everytime I get on my computer I get an error message stating " applephotostream.exe has stopped working."  I have tried to repair icloud and have clicked on the check online for a solution and cannot find how to fix this issue.

    This may occur if you are connected to the Internet and iTunes is trying to connect to the iTunes Store and fails for some unknown reason.
    Try this:
    Quit iTunes and disconnect completely from the Internet.
    IF you have an iPhone (iPod etc), open iTunes. Sync the device.
    Re-enable your Internet connection.
    Quit iTunes.
    Open iTunes again.
    If this does not work, try completely uninstalling iTunes, then reinstall it according to these instructions:

    When I switch off the ipod it shows a spinning wheel until the battery dies, which could be nearly 2 hours!!
    does anyone have any advice as to what to do?
    currently ive reset it - nothing has happened
    ive let the battery drain itself then recharged it to see if that would make a difference - no difference

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

    I use chrome on windows. Every time I am on Facebook and I am trying to play a game I get a message that says flash player has stopped working. How do i make it work?

    Hi juderocks14,
    Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
    If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
    Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
    Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
    Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows  Media Player:
    Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)
    More reference:
    What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?

  • The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Now fcpx don's start empty. It stops and you see this, no more action did my mac

    Now fcpx don's start empty. It stops and you see this, no more action did my mac
    I can't open projects, FCPX didn't find my photo's and didn't find the links to the stuff of fxfactory.
    I removed fcpx and installed it again after closing my mac.
    I renamed fcpprojects and events. FCPX starts empty without photo's and links to fxfactory.
    Very disappointed because it cost my hours and fcpx doesn't work yet. 
    Greetings
    Ton

    Russ
    Thank you for your quick and good response
    I was a little disappointed that I was referred to an apple store while I had just arranged everything over the internet
    Trash FCP doesn't work. than i go to Library etc. That doesn't work.
    I made a new user account and FCP works.
    FCPX is working again on this new account.
    I see all effects, transitions, titles and generators.
    The only downside is that I have to set everything again. FxFactory. Iphoto etc.
    How is it possible that I can set up a new account FCPX and not on my own account. Is there an explanation for this.
    I was helped, because I can use FCPX again on a new account. Although with some detours and some extra time and energy.
    So thanks a lot.
    I hope that you can help me that I can installed FCPX on my own account.
    Greetings

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro causes an error when starting it - Adobe Acrobat has stopped working. How do I resolve this?

    I've had Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for some time, but yesterday it stopped working and I started having an 'Adobe Acrobat has stopped working' error. It then tells me to Close the Program.
    How do I resolve this?
    Thanks and regards
    Roxanne

    Thanks Pat. I was able to resolve the problem.
    OS is Windows 7 Pro, Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.07.
    I went into the Properties file where I identified that Users only had Read & Execute and Read properties, I changed properties for Everyone to Full Control. That fixed the problem.
    I don't know how the properties got changed to just Read & Execute, but there had been an automatic update the night before.
