Sketchup crashes upon start.

Very likely you do have Plays.tv installed since it was packed with a recent Radeon driver update and installed automatically. Many users have reported this same sudden crashing and every one of them have found plays.tv was the culprit. You might have a closer look for it.
No, I couldn't find any plays tv in my installed programs list. Neither it was found in program files and program Files(x86) folders.
I uninstalled raptr application also but I'm still facing this trouble. What's should I do now?

You might try rolling back the video drivers to and earlier version.
Or you might uninstall 64-bit SU and install 32-bit instead. Some users have found that Radeon's motoriously poor OpenGL support creates fewer problems with 32-bit applications.

Rolling back the video drivers to previous version won't solve this trouble as I started facing this when I was on previous version only. That's why I updated my driver.
Would it be okay that I download "plays.tv" application, install it and then uninstall it to remove any of its previous invisible traces that have been causing trouble?

I don't know. That seems like an odd way to go about it. Maybe find a registry cleaner instead.
Try going back to 32-bit SketchUp and see what happens.

Sketchup 2015 - 64 bit is running fine. I'm downloading 32 bit version of 2016. I'll post the results soon.
I have piriform CCleaner for cleaning registry and temp files. Should I perform cleaning up of registry with this software?
-
Yes. Try running CCleaner and see what happens.

Yes. It does sound like some extension is causing the problem. I guess I would install a couple of extensions at a time until you get the crash. Make sure you are installing fresh copies from their source. Do not copy extensions from the old Plugins folder.

That's precisely what I was thinking. Here on the forums I was expecting an opinion that would allow me to do "all my plugins in bulk" sorta thing.
But one thing I don't understand. I was earlier running an updated sketchup 2016 and did the same default plugins folder thing. I allowed sketchup to create a new default plugins folder and the crash was still happening unlike the present scenario.

Okay, now the situation is that I found an old setup of sketchup 2016 (version 16.0.19912 - 64 bit). I installed it and it ran fine. My plugins folder was renamed as "plugins_latest". Okay so far so good. I renamed the folder back to plugins, and sketchup still started. I closed it and restarted it again. Then it crashed with the same "amd driver has crashed and recovered error"
Now I renamed my plugins folder back to "plugins_latest". Now sketchup as usual created a new default plugins folder and now its running fine. I also did registry cleaning with CCleaner.
I think the culprit is some plugin that crashes sketchup.
What should I do now?
