Office 2013 has stopped working - Graphics problem

Came across an interesting problem recently where whenever any Microsoft Office programs were opened it would instantly come up with ("has stopped working") and would close itself.

Troubleshooting .. trying opening the applications in their safe mode.

Code:
Msword.exe /safe
Code:
Excel.exe /safe

If that works.. It could be a Hardware Acceleration Fault.

Go in to the Registry,
HCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Graphics
and add a REG_DWORD named
DisableHardwareAcceleration with the value 1.
