First off I apologise if this topic has been posted before, I pre-downloaded Skyrim through Steam when midnight came around I clicked on the play option. Once the files had unlocked I got the start up menu after the system did a Gfx setting check, when I clicked on play I got the Bethesda logo followed by the Skyrim dragon logo and for a second the in game menu. Then the game dropped and I was returned to the Steam Library screen, I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the game, updated the Gfx drivers and read everything that deals with crashes on the Steam forums without any joy.

Any help would be appreciated and again sorry if this topic has been broached before
