So I recently got a new computer, pretty solid build and everything, but...
Installed steam and tf2 and everything went fine for the first few hours, then I started having a really annoying problem, everytime I launch the game it goes up until the splash screen and then simply disappears, no error message, nothing, the process doesn't even remain on the task manager.
First time I solved it by reinstalling gfx drivers and restarting, happened again and I made a fresh install of windows 8, it was solved again for the first few hours then the same f*ckin problem appears.
I already made 2-3 fresh installs of windows 8 because of this, wasted 10+ hours trying to solve it and nothing works...
Any help?
Extra info:
Running on windows 8, i7, gtx 670, steam installed on ssd, all drivers updated. No fuckin clue how to solve this.

dude this shit happened to me with my new computer. i think it has something to do with data execution prevention error. try typing this into command prompt: "C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe" /repair
everything after the colon including quotation marks should fix it. if not i don't know.
edit: i'm not actually sure if windows 8 even has DEP but it's worth a shot :\

Yes I waited, I restarted steam, I searched around google for that particular fix and went through some windows properties and checked everything, nothing seems off...
I don't know what's happening at all, now I was able to open the game, played 5 minutes, closed the game, someone called me for a scrim and I tried to open the game and the same fuckin problem out of nowhere, fastfoward 1 hour on CS GO and now I can play again, I don't even know whats going on, it seems it does as it pleases...
Already opened a thread on steam forums, facepunch, steam support, everything, no one seems to be able to help me

i actually once had really bad internet for a while and i didn't know why but i opened up some random singleplayer game and after a bit i came back and it fixed. tf2 is weird like that maybe it'll just go away lol

I just want to give you a list of games I cannot play on W8
GTA4
Mass Effect
Borderlands (sometimes it's off and on)
Half Life (another on and off)
I don't know what the cause is, I've reinstalled, repaired, defragged, and even verified files. I have given up, and now blame windows 8, but ME wasn't working on 7 towards the end for me. So just be prepared to have it happen to more than just TF2.

Can you consider dropping to Windows 7 to see if that alleviates the problem? Could just make a smallish partition on your drive...
Have you deleted and redownloaded game caches (maybe just verify them).

Oh shi... Just installed GTA IV in hopes I could finally try it for the first time... Guess Im up for a disappointment. I think it's a win8<->steam issue as well, gaben dealt with it really bad

I have done that countless times.
And I would really prefer windows 8 since I have a free license through university and performance wise and these issues aside seems way better than win7
So far today it hasnt happened but I didn't close the game yet, I bet if I do it and launch again the same bug will appear
