Hello all,

Ever since i started playing source games ive been having this extremely annoying issue. I play GMOD a lot but recently gave up as it just would not boot. When i open the game steam says that it is opening garrys mod, then nothing happens past that, nothing comes up. This happens about 14/15 times and is very irritating. I checked the processes section in task manager and it says hl2.exe is there but using only 26,000 kb of system memory. But no picture is being displayed and steam says i am in game. This is the same for all of the source games, so TF2 The half life series. And has basically stopped me from playing it.
I have tried changing the Direct X settings around and forcing into 64/32 bit mode via the launch options and it occasionally works but still the same problem.

Cany anyone help?

Thanks
 
I left it on from 11 till 12 this morning and no game appeared just the process in task manager and steam saying i was in game.
 
Yeh thats what i do a number of times but it still doesnt boot.
I end the process then restart it through steam tog et the same thing happen
