Issue:
When starting up AutoCAD, the program crashes with a fatal error.
Causes:
Fatal errors have a variety of causes. They often indicate a corrupt drawing, program corruption, or a problem with the system configuration.
Solution:
There are several ways to troubleshoot the problem:
- Update AutoCAD.
Updates for latest releases are acquired via the Autodesk Desktop App. Right-click its icon down on the status bar next to the time and pick "Check now." You may also download updates through your Autodesk Account (see How to Access Product Updates in Autodesk Accounts). For older products, see Autodesk Downloads.
- Try opening another drawing.
If you can open another drawing, the original drawing may be corrupt and require repair.
See: How to repair corrupt AutoCAD files
- Uninstall any antivirus or desktop locking programs.
These programs can cause errors in AutoCAD, since they prevent the system environment from working.
- Reset AutoCAD to defaults.
See: How to reset AutoCAD to defaults
- Turn off Hardware Acceleration.

- Update your graphics driver.
Install the latest graphics driver from your video card manufacturer or use an AutoCAD-certified driver.

- Try logging in under a new Administrator Windows Account.
If you create a new account and can successfully open the drawing, you can either use that account or rebuild the user profile in Windows.
