Error message: "GS plugin failed to open. Your computer may have insufficient resources, or incompatible hardware/drivers."

Hey guys, I've searched around before posting here. I've seen similar posts, but their solutions did not work for me.

All insight greatly welcomed, thank you.

did you get any error when doing so ?

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

No errors during install of the above Direct X software.

Here is the code for the standard GS settings. I have also tried other configurations including OpenGL to no avail.

You don't have VC++ redist 2015 installed
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download...24fa6=True

Install both just to be sure

By "latest" do you mean 401 or some older rev.
I don't get any error messages but no matter what I try to run(game or the bios),this is the only thing I get and pcsx2 freeze(I have to kill the process)

Code:
(pxEvtQueue:PauseCoreThread) Posting event! (pending=0, idle=0)

PS This version of PCSX2 was downloaded from here 1.4.0 not GIT http://pcsx2.net/download/releases/windows.html

I have downloaded an older version 1.2.1 and it works without issue! Looks like a 1.4.0 bug.

Are you sure it's configured correctly?

Your emulog doesn't even show the use of a BIOS
