Direct3DDevice9ent failed: An invalid parameter was passed to the...

Okay. Thats somewhat good news, it's not uncommon to see those temps on a laptop.

If you had a legit problem with heat, your laptop would shut itself off due to the heat generated.

Hmm... you mentioned that every game except Crossfire is affected?

How about this 3D benchmark from Unigine?

Heaven DX11 Benchmark | Unigine: real-time 3D engine (game, simulation, visualization and VR)

Very interesting indeed.

We can rule out a graphics hardware problem now, which is good.

The only thing is that, I'm not sure how to proceed from here, considering you've tried all of the suggested software solutions. (Graphic Card Drivers, Direct X, etc).

The only i can recommend right now is to look at this generalized tutorial for troubleshooting gaming problems:-

Tips on Troubleshooting Game Issues

There'll be a number of steps you've done, omit them and try out the rest. Good luck.

Well this guide didn't really help :/

I know, I just wanted to be thorough and offer you all the options available. Most forums i checked do not even have the solution to this problem.

I'll call for some insight from the others.

Just a shot.

I would like for you to run the included script.

How to run the script and the script follow.

When finished, upload the ComputerInfo.txt file which lands on your desktop.

# **********************INSTRUCTIONS**************************
# STEP 1 *****************************************************
# RUN PowerShell as administrator
# WIN key | type POWERSHELL | do NOT hit ENTER |
# in the resulting PROGRAMS list, right-click on WINDOWS POWERSHELL |
# choose "Run as administrator" from the resulting list
# Click on the YES button (if such appears)
#
# WIN key = key with Microsoft log on top
# for the guru:
# WIN key | type POWERSHELL | CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER key combo | ALT+Y keycombo
# ************************************************************
# STEP 2 *****************************************************
# COPY, using CTRL+C, every line of script down thru both EXIT statements
# PASTE into Powershell
#----Right-Click at the PowerShell Prompt
#----(Ctrl+V does not work)
# Start copying with first line without a # at start of the line
# Note: Actually, you can paste the entire file if you rather
#-------Lines starting with a # are ignored by PowerShell
# ************************************************************
# ***************** NOTE - POWERSHELL VERSION*****************
# if you receive this error msg:
#--Get-WinEvent: The system can not find the path specified
# you need to update your PowerShell
# you must be using Powershell 2.0 or later.
#
# To determine your Powershell version:
#---Run PowerShell
#---enter $host.version
#---you should see at least:
# Major Minor Build Revision
# ----- ----- ----- --------
# 2......0......-1.....-1
#
# If you do not see the above, update your Vista/Win 7.
# ************************************************************
# *************** NOTE - EXECUTION POLICY*********************
# If you haven't set the execution policy, you may need to:
#---Run PowerShell
#---enter Set-ExecutionPolicy -executionpolicy remotesigned
