new Blender version 2.8 not working on win7 64bit I have downloaded the new version of Blender 2.8 on my desktop I can see Blender starting up a gray window opens and then just shuts down.
I resolved this issue on a pc x5675 older system, by installing blender 2.81 experimental.  It may have some extra bug fixes that may help you. Apparently the release for stable is in November.
