UE 5.4.2 and every other version keeps crashing on startup.

I’m having the same problem.

Everything was working fine until I rolled back my GPU drivers to fix a specific game from crashing. Since then, attempting to launch UE5.4.4 yields this exact crash log, even after updating the drivers again, freshly reinstalling them, reinstalling unreal, etc etc , now I’ve done two CLEAN windows reinstalls and the issue persists.

I’m starting to think it could be a hardware issue, maybe silicon degradation caused by the cpu voltage being too high out of the box

I’ve been trying to fix this for over a week and after hours of scouring the internet for a solution, the two most common hypotheses seem to be issues with CPU voltage or corrupt Nvidia drivers.
