"Skyrim has stopped working" after launching

» Mon Jun 17, 2013 12:03 am

Hello all,

Recently I have upgraded my PC's hardware to modern day standards after having been stuck with a rather old PC for a while. Naturally such a large hardware upgrade involves a fresh install of Windows and its accompanying programs, and it all went quite well. After having reinstalled nearly everything, the PC works perfectly and so does every Steam game I have installed (ranging from ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead to Napoleon: Total War and Dishonored).

The only issue is, there are four games that do not work, and these are the only ones:

Skyrim (including all DLC);
Oblivion (including all DLC);
Morrowind (including all DLC);
Fallout 3 (including all DLC).

Interestingly Fallout: New Vegas does seem to work. The issue is the same every time:

I open Steam;
I open the game;
Microsoft VC Redist starts installing (it does this every time interestingly enough, even though it is installed. Other games that use it don't do it).
The launcher pops up;
I click play;
A white, small screen pops up;
Skyrim stopped working.

Here is some additional data that might help:

DxDiag

Crash file

I have done extensive Googling, and I have tried the following:

Verifying my game cache (about five times).
Reinstalling Skyrim.
Manually running the DirectX10, DotNetFX and VCRedist installers from the Skyrim folders.
Uninstalling and reinstalling DirectX10, DotNetFX and VCRedist downloaded from Microsoft.
Running TESV.exe and SkyrimLauncher.exe as an administrator (and disabled that again afterwards).
Running TESV.exe and SkyrimLauncher.exe directly from the game folder.
Checking if atimgpud.dll is in my Skyrim folder.
Disabling all DLCs and removing all modifications.
Checking the load order (it is correct).
Running through skse_loader.exe.
Running through the Nexus Mod Manager.
Deleting the Skyrim_default.ini file, then verifying game cache.
Deleting the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini files.
Checking if SYSTEM/Adminstrator have read/full access to Valve and Skyrim registry entries.
Cleaning my registry using CCleaner.

I am completely out of ideas what may be causing this. Any suggestions on how to fix this? It would be much appreciated.
