Blender wont start - New PC on windows 10 I just finished building my new PC, here are the specs if you need them:

i7-8700K
EVA GeForce GTX 1070 SC (got used off eBay so if its defective and thats the issue i want to know asap, but i don't think so because it has no trouble running extremely graphic intensive games)
16GB RAM
128GB SSD + 1TB HDD + 500GB HDD (which drive it is installed on doesnt seem to change anything)

Upon running it, it flashes a console then closes instantly. Upon running it in CMD, I get this output:

AL lib: (EE) UpdateDeviceParams: Failed to set 44100hz, got 48000hz instead
found bundled python: D:\programs\blender\2.79\python
Error: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION


I have a fresh install of the NVIDIA drivers. I tried putting the opengl32.dll file some other threads suggested in blenders working directory, but that doesn't seem to make a difference, at least that's good evidence the video card isn't the problem

Where should I go from here?
There is a bug thread regarding this. I would try out things listed in the first comment, especially trying out the latest build of 2.79 (I assume you have "clean" 2.79 from site downloads and thread seems to state that was resolved in builds after may 2018).
You could also try general solutions for this kind of error, like checking whether your blender folder is not read only and it could also happen when you have incorrect entry in PATH variable(thought it was an answer to java error).
