I simply cannot launch blender 2.79a whatever I do! I have reinstalled 4 times and done the same with older versions. I have also updated my drivers and installed an older version of Python in case it would fix it. Here's an image of the console just before it crashes:

After that, it launches the grey screen, holds for 1-2 seconds then just closes. I have tried using a zip and exe and neither work.
