Yesterday I had a slight error with Team Fortress 2 not closing HL2.exe properly when I quit the game and forcing my to cancel the (now 8900Kb) process using Task Manager.
Today I have found after resetting my PC to install something unrelated to Steam that no games will boot properly from Steam. They say "Preparing to load" and then my cursor provides a loading symbol for roughly 10s and then nothing.
However if I look in Task Manager I can see an instance of the game running but am unable to access it and the RAM usage is too small to be the game running proper. 8900kb for TF2's HL2.exe. A little under 1mb for KSP.exe for Kerbal Space Program.
This issue has persisted through today's Steam Update and restart, a deletion of Clientregistry.BLOB and restart of steam, several virus checks and large amounts of frustration.
I have even tried running the applications from their own .exe files in Steamapps to no avail.
As well as this I have also attempted to run a non Steam game (Dawn of War: Soulstorm) from it's CD disk. This game had exactly the same issue.
Please please somebody help me this is getting to the point where I think my PC might be haunted or something.
