    I am assuming my issue is hardware as this happens on windows 10 and 7

    But none of my source games will run, Gmod, CSGO, CSS, TF etc none work.

    Had no issues with other games thus far.

    I am about to try a fresh install of windows 10 but before I do i thought I would get some input here.

    I have tried running my system with no overclocks on anything and still the issue remains.

    Not sure what could be causing just those games not to work.

    I might try another gpu just incase.

    Does it crash on startup? Check dump logs in steam folder, it might have error to give you a hint.

    I bloody found the issue.. holy crap.

    Its Riva Tuner... MSI Afterburner on its own is fine but with RT running as well source games crash on start up.

    I remember some games didn't start cause I had fraps running.

    Maybe running source game in "window" mode might work with Riva.

    RTSS has not affected any of my source games what so ever.

    I was shocked to find this as I have played css before with no issues from RT.

    Might have been an update over the past year that broke something on my system :\
