Some of my games aren't working right, and I think it's because i didn't install windows 7 properly :/

I just recently bought an i7 4790 and a new mobo to replace my old amd setup, so I had to format my hdd and reinstall my os. Now, when I try to play games like RE7, it won't even start up on steam. Batman telltale story game also doesn't work, it says something like "parameter is incorrect" before I start it, but other games I have work fine like AC syndicate, and Dota 2. Can anyone help me please? :(

Although i've never used it, so i cannot say if it's easy.

whenever I press check for updates it just checks for updates and stays like that, literally. Mine was checking for updates for hours already :(
