Startup Crash. Fresh OS and TES install : IV

» Tue Oct 18, 2011 8:34 am

Hey all, I recently built a new system and decided to see how TES:OB would run on my new rig. Unfortunately, it crashes IMMEDIATELY on startup.

TES:OB GOTY edition patched to 1.2

Here is the event log:

Faulting application name: Oblivion.exe, version: 1.2.0.416, time stamp: 0x462392c7
Faulting module name: Oblivion.exe, version: 1.2.0.416, time stamp: 0x462392c7
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0000548e
Faulting process id: 0x1664
Faulting application start time: 0x01cc8d37bbdd91d0

Faulting module path: F:\Oblivion\Oblivion.exe
Report Id: fa4527c6-f92a-11e0-ab55-969500d8e21a

My specs:
Win7-x64 SP1 (every update loaded, including vc++ redist and directx)
F drive = RAID0 for games
Oblivion updated to v1.2.0.416
Graphics: Radeon HD 6950
Ram = 8Gb

Testing so far:
completely wiped out files from the My Games/My Docs folder
OB is NOT installed at it's default location. It is currently on my F drive (F:\Oblivion)
I tried compatibility mode of XP SP2&3
Graphics updated to the absolute latest drivers
Mobo using the latest drivers
