Premiere CC crashes on launch on Lenovo ThinkPad W530/Quadro K2000M

Question

Hey everyone!
I can't get Premiere Pro CC to launch on my new laptop--Lenovo ThinkPad W530 with Quadro K2000M graphics. On launch I get "Adobe Premiere CC has stopped working."
The K2000M is on the approved list, so I was hoping that wouldn't be a problem. But uninstalling the nVidia drivers does actually allow me to open Premiere, so clearly that is the problem. I went to the Lenovo site and I'm using the most up-to-date driver (9.18.13.1270/8.15.10.2725/G5DE43WW).
Things that didn't work that I've seen elsewhere on this forum:
- signing out of and into Creative Cloud
- running Premiere in Windows 7 compatibility mode
- running Premiere as administrator
Any help in getting the program and the nVidia running at the same time would be appreciated...I have a project coming up shortly.

Unfortunately, the crash data you posted doesn't give us any clues.
It looks like the driver you're on is very fresh: 2014-1/5. Another user recently reported a different problem on a Lenovo w/ the K1000M (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5987620#5987620). Don't know yet what driver he's on, but if he's also on a new one, I'd begin to suspect a bug in the driver.
Some additional data could be illuminating. Premiere installs a utility called GPUsniffer. You'll find it here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC. However, unless you read quicker than I do--and I mean waaaay faster--launching it from there won't do much good. You'll have to open the command console, navigate to the path above, and type gpusniffer.exe. (Let me know if you need more explicit instructions for getting around in the console.) Then copy the report and paste it here.
edited to add: To help determine if the current Lenovo K2000M driver is at fault--and possibly get yourself back in business--please roll back to an earlier driver.
