So, if you're here for help then you will most likely be getting an error upon startup named Borderlands 'General protection fault' with a long window filled with a bunch of text, if so, this is how to fix it.

Step 1:

Go to Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > Borderlands > Binaries

Step 2:

Look for an extension named 'cudart.dll' (without the apostrophe's)
Then rename it to 'physxcudart_20' (without the apostrophe's) and save

Step 3:

Go to your Steam Library > properties > local files and verify the integrity of the game cache

What this will do is it will recreate the 'cudart.dll' extension to work with the 'physxcudart_20' extension

Step 4:

Start up Borderlands and play

"hey guys i have this game but i have an error and can't play it, help"

Like... Tell us what the message is first. It probably is protection fault and these guys above me gave the solution, but might've as well been anything else. Some brain usage, please.

I was assuming it was the same error i got and my post fixed the issue, Weasel ~~~san
Sadly no it hasn't been fixed it's the "General Protection" error I can't copy or paste the text

Download http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?physxcudart_20 and throw it in the binaries folder (where borderlands.exe is).

Well you gave us the reason pretty fast, just coz you can't copy the text doesn't mean you can share it with us, either describe it earlier or just send us a screenshot next time.
Yea that is what I though a screen shot, which is why I normally do, but right now I lost my wifi but I'll provide a screenshot and I'll test out the download and binaries thing

Data Execution Prevention is the most common cause of 0xc0000005 (memory read: ACCESS DENIED).

For Windows 10:
Start > Exploit Protection > Program Settings > Click the '+' left of 'Add Program to Customize > Add by Program Name > Type 'borderlands.exe' > Click 'Add'

WARNING: Adding by 'Choose exact file path' is more secure.
WARNING: This makes you more vulnerable to hacking if the game code is compromsied.

Find any setting that is turned 'On' and check the box left of 'Override system settings', then click the button that says 'On', and it will toggle to 'Off'.

For Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1:
Start > Run > 'sysdm.cpl' > 'Advanced' (Tab) > Under 'Performance' click the 'Settings' button > 'Data Execution Prevention' (Tab) > :

There are two settings:
Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only
Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I specify

The second is more secure (assuming this is selected) click 'Add' > navigate to 'borderlands.exe' > click 'Open'

OR

change the setting to
Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only

OR

Start > Type 'cmd.exe', Right click, and select 'Run as Administrator' > Type 'bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff'

WARNING: This will disable DEP for the whole computer, and is not recomended from a security standpoint.

If these don't work then it is possible you have DEP enabled forcibly via either the EMET, or via Group Policy.

Doing the above, and installing vcredist_64.exe (Visual C Redistributable), along with PhysX_8.10.29_SystemSoftware.exe (NVIDIA PhysX) from the prerequisites folder solved my problem.
