My computer has run fine for a long time, but is now giving me issues.

No games will run (steam or otherwise) and will crash immediately on start up. I've tried googling the specific error messages for each game and it seems that all signs point to driver issues. However, I know my drivers are up to date. I would be happy to post my computer's specs or any other info needed. Thanks for the help.

What has changed?

Perhaps you should use system restore and go back to a point where all was running well.

Here's what Piriform is giving me. I'll give you the Summary, Motherboard, and Graphics. I'll also be happy to provide any others. One issue I neglected to mention in the original post: the computer will occassionally "black out" for about 5 seconds during regular use, which is another reason for my belief that it is graphics-driver related.

go to the machine manufacturers site and read the information on it or if paperwork came with the machine read it.
