Is there anyway to start DOW2 ELite installed on steam to not crash during start up? A safe mode? Restart, something?

First i'd recommend trying to verify your game cache for Dawn of War 2 Retribution, you can do this by going to your steam library and right clicking on Retribution, then going to properties and under the local tab click the Verify Integrity of Game Cache button.

If that doesn't work, i'd recommend trying to reinstall the latest version of Elite which can be located here.

If neither of those work and your patience is running low, i'd recommend uninstalling Retribution completely and reinstalling it fresh. Then download and install Elite mod and you should be good to go with that.

bsod is normally something fatal is not normally cause by an application but rather by the OS or hardware problem. What windows version do you have? No problem in another application/games?
