    Hello guys im new here.I have a tiny problem that i tryied to solve but with no success.Games like Hitman absolution,sleeping dogs and skyrim le wont start anymore?but they worked before normally?some other games like tomb raider,metro,crysis start normal but these wont.Reinstalling didnt helped me.I watched a bit the task manager and hitman appears in the task but it wont launcha and other two mentioned games dont appear.As i said i tryied reinstalling,defragmentation,cc cleaner and nothing helped.Drivers are the newest and the notebook is more than enough powerful for these games..what could be the reason than??i suspect maybe framework 4.0 which i installed 2-3days ago but i uninstaled it and instaled 4.5.1 version so i guess its not that?microsoft c2005 i also uninstaled cause i have newer version:Hope you can help me :)

    This will happen occasionally sometimes out of the blue as well. Mine used to do stuff like that until I turned off that ridiculous steam guard.

    I used to have to go into steam and rebuild all the cache files, etc. It was a PITA.
