Game crashes seconds after starting the .exe, tried with both steam and origin

Version:
1. Origin digital download, version 1.2.1604.0, also attempted with Steam digital download as well

2. System Details
      Configuration Utility | Summary Tab
           *Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz || Memory: 8192MB RAM
           *Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 || Dedicated Memory: 3039 MB ||Driver Version 382.33
           * Sound Adapter CREATIVE Sound Blaster Z
           * WIndows 10 Home 64-Bit (Build 15063) - Creators Update
           * DirectX 12

3. Nature of the problem: Game suffers an APPCRASH event seconds after launch from any source whether it be the .exe directly or through steam/origin/the launcher.

Problem started occurring as of attempting to start the game a day ago. Game worked fine nearly a year ago when I played it last with the same specs and Windows 10.

4. Problem can be replicated by attempting to open the .exe in any way.

5. The game is unmodded.

6.Additional information: I've attempted a clean reboot, changing the .exe names, running as administrator, running in compatibility mode and changing physX version, none of which have worked.

    Nevermind I resolved it, changes I made to my driver's tdrlevel were causing the issue. 

    If anyone else suffers this problem make sure you haven't changed your tdrdelay or level and if you have then delete the registry entries.

    I'm glad you figured it out. I took the liberty of marking your own post as the solution.
