Game crashes on start-up

Game crashes on start-up - Person Playing Chess on Chess Board

I'm running an AMD R9 280x and Phenom II X4 965 which from what I can tell meets the minimum specs to run this title. Windows and my video card are up to date. But, my game still crashes on start-up every single time, before it ever makes it to the title screen. I have an error in the event log with the following text if that helps at all:

Faulting application name: NMS.exe, version: 0.1.0.0, time stamp: 0x57ade3e9
Faulting module name: NMS.exe, version: 0.1.0.0, time stamp: 0x57ade3e9

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\NMS.exe
Report Id: 9bacc1f2-db6e-4ac4-a598-ee8e7965bf9b
Faulting package full name: 
Faulting package-relative application ID:

Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

Experimental branch has gone live, see https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/7/360672304897578119/ for info.

I've the same problem as you, except I'm running a Phenom 2 x6 1055T.

Before trying Experimental I'd get the HelloGames logo then a crash and nearly the same event log.

After enabling Experimental, I'll get past the logo and into an intro movie, followed by immediately dropping back to Steam/Windows desktop with no errors in the Event Viewer.
