Thread: Valve/Steam logo crash

Hey team

Okay, so. Just got a brand new computer. One. Week. Old. I downloaded L4D2 last night and when I awoke this morning to play before class, the little shit would crash just as the Valve/Steam logo would end. So I ctrl+alt+del my way out and try again. Same result. I restart my comp. Same result. My Dell Inspiron laptop-- which is five years old-- can run this game, but my behemoth desktop can't run this shit? GFY, technology. GFY.

Specs (Desktop):

Dell Studio XPS 8100
Intel Core i-7 2.8ghz
4gb RAM
nVidia GeForce GTX 260
400gb of free space

Also, while I'm at it... It's taking forever and about a million clicks to bring the new steam client up. Dunno if this helps, but just throwin' it out there.

I apologize if this has already been answered. I have class momentarily and am in a rush.

Iggy-

Thanks for the prompt response. I've checked the files via Steam and they are as they should be: "All files were verified successfully."

Any ideas?

Same problem here, im sorry to bring back an old topic but i really need a solution to this:

Intel i7-890 2.93 GHZ
6GB RAM
Radeon 5770 1GB

I have same problem with steam and lfd2, please someone help

Nope no work, the problem with steam seems to be i think cuasing it, but how do i get rid of that..
