Okay so steam has been working spot on since install for a week or two now.
Was playing empire total war in Steam today, got blue screen (had to disable speed step to fix this) and since i restarted it wont start, i log in and it crashes.
I have reinstalled, completely deleted all folder and reinstalled, same problems either way.
Any ideas?
Anything else CPU intensive you can launch to test? Preferably something that stresses the HD too, maybe try running an HD benchmark to see if that causes a crash too?
got burn in test on the go now, seems okay.
Steam is crashing after like 5 seconds.
Have you tried running as administrator and removing any compatibility mode settings?
yep and yep.Originally Posted by nibbler
Have you tried deleting the "ClientRegistry.blob" file located in your Steam folder? It might be corrupt, delete it and Steam will build another one. Worth a try anyway.
yep, no luck either wierdly.
Steam is a terrible piece of software if you ask me, always causing problems.
Just ask Apple.

for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

So annoying as i want to play Empire total war lol
I had a similar problem years ago with a Cossacks game. I was much less experienced at the time so I didn't find out what caused it but anyway, I was playing it then the motherboard fried. Repair guy came out and replaced the motherboard but the game wouldn't run again for some reason. I forgot about the game for a while but I tried it again after reformatting and it worked. Maybe Windows holds a grudge against software?
I know that's probably of no help but you're not alone!
oh... now all my games are doing the same thing... okay, so time to try reinstalling directx etc
seriously what the hell... how can none of my games be working now... i cant figure what is doing it, i havent made any chages, nothing runnig in background to mess it up
As a last resort reformatting should sort it, and it would probably have it sorted faster then trying to figure out what's causing it.
yet again.. ati problem related... catalyse control center had broke... reinstalled and its all working again... grrrr
Strange, never had that before. Glad you got it sorted though.
Edit: I've just though, Stem can update ATI drivers now, maybe that has something to do with it. Also were the drivers up-to-date?

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
