Ok, so I've been all around the internet trying to find somebody who might be able to help me with my issue; so here it is.
When I click "Play" on the Skyrim launch menu I just get the swirly twirlly blue circle for windows and I can see my resource monitor report all cores smashed at 100% usage, memory usage is unfazed at ~3GB of 16, disk and network usage is minimal. I'll grab a picture of the screen (literal) if anybody thinks it would help rather than taking my word for it.
I've removed all DLC, all Workshop Mods, steam keeps the game updated, I've updated all drivers, the installation is fresh, and the Game Cache has been verified. I've gone through and made sure that I've got PhysX, DirectX, 32bit C++ and 64bit C++ installed per the trouble shooting guide.
DxDiag
Any help would be appreciated as I've upgraded this machine and wanted to get back and finally finish me some Skyrim... now this.
