Not much to say about his problem, whenever I startup the game a screen opens as if it's going to show the game loading, but it just stays black for about 1 or 2 seconds and then the game crashes. Then a box appears saying "DayZ has stopped working".

Additional Information
Up untill now I never ever had any sort of trouble with DayZ, everything loaded, no crashes, no freezes. I stopped playing it for about a month or 2 and when I came back this problem simply happens for no reason. Might have been since a update or not I don't know.
My DayZ is always updated to the latest version. I tried a good ammount of things to try to fix it such as unistalling the game more and installing it again (tried it more than once), try running as a admninistrator and using compatibility mode. None of these things changed anything.

To save you some time, upload a copy of your dxdiag and a crashdump from your DayZ AppData folder. You might aswell do it now, since that will be the first thing the feedback team will ask you for.
If you're unsure how to, there's a guide here:

Copied from the link above:
Getting your DxDiag file:
- Open the Start menu
- Write "dxdiag"
- Press enter
- A window will open
- Click "Save all information"
- You will get a text file - that's what we need
Getting your crash dumps:
- Go to this file location: "C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local"
- There you should see a DayZ folder.
- Create a .zip or .rar file of that folder.

PROBLEM FIXED!!!
Sorry if I wasted someone's time with this, but I just found out the source of the problem. It was not my DayZ folder or anything like that, it ended up being another 1 of Windows 8 useless updates that messed with some of the computer's settings.
Damn you Microsoft.
