Possible you have this issue, due to Intel removing some compatibilities from recent CPUs:

Does that workaround help you?

I tried that but it didn't work. I re-installed windows though, and it did work! For a while anyway... Now when I click "Play" on steam nothing happens. I don't know what could have changed...

Delete that output log then run the game from Steam again - does it make a new log?
