Constant dx11 error crashes

[Tanekoden]

I've been getting fatal directx errors recently. I've had a few in the past, but they were very few and far between each other. Since 5.5 update, I've had these crashes trigger very consistently. It started with cutscenes. It would trigger very consistently during the MSQ cutscene after Paglth'an, when Nanamo would start talking. It also happend in the short cutscene after I reached lv100 PotD and killed the final boss.

I tried numerous things to try to fix the issue: changing settings, update drivers, reinstall, but nothing worked.

Today, I was running Tsuki EX with some FC mates, and when we killed her I crashed again during the following cutscene. We ran it again, and this time I crashed when she transitioned to her final phase. Ran it again, this time crashed some 30 seconds into the fight. Went to the inn in Kugane, and went to test some setting with the cutscenes, and now I crash just from logging into the game while my character is getting out of bed.

I've also tried Dx9, and tbh it runs worse. The game stutters, and graphics bug out, and it still crashes.

The only luck I have had is resetting the system settings via the launcher, but changing any of the window sizes, regardless of fullscreen, borderless, or windowed, seems to quicken the rate of the crash.

Tbh, I'm not sure what to do. I am currently trying to redownload the game again to see if that fixes anything.

EDIT:
Problem persists after reinstall. Turning down the graphics to Standard(Desktop) helps some, but I really can't do much with out it crashing. Can't even run a dungeon without crashing at every pull. I have noticed that my GPU is frequently hitting 100% usage when playing, maybe that is a factor?

EDIT 2:
It looks like the frequent crashing has also been happening to other games. Perhaps it is my graphics card going bad? It is like 5 years old...
