Multiple games crashing at logo screen
So far, my list of crashing games includes:
Portal 2, Half-Life 2, HL2 Episodes 1 and 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout: New Vegas, and Metro 2033. (Portal 1 and Far Cry 3 don't crash.)
I've worked with Bethesda's customer support to try and resolve the Skyrim issue. I've tried:
Running as Administrator
Running in Compatability Mode
Running with Selective Startup
Verifying Game Cache in Steam
Uninstalling and re-installing the game
Rolling back graphics drivers
Uninstalling and re-installing graphics drivers
Buying a new graphics card
While reading some other threads about strange and multiple game crashes, someone mentioned looking at Event Viewer. If you like, I can post my events, but it looks like some of the crashes (maybe all) are throwing this error:
The Intel(R) HD Graphics Control Panel Service service terminated with the following error:
%%-2147467259
Since I am using an NVidia card (first a GTX 660 Ti, now a GTX 770), the Intel HD Graphics shouldn't be coming into it, I think.
I noticed the Skyrim problem about 3 weeks ago, but it may have been going on longer. I can attest that every one of these games has worked on my system previously.
