After installing W7 SP1 x64 through automatic updates, none of my games (CS: GO in Steam, Heroes of Newerth) will load. The first time I encountered this problem, I decided to format my SSD but the same issue again after installing SP1. Thinking it might be a video driver issue I've tried installing an older driver but the same thing happens. I decided to uninstall SP1 and all my games are working again.

I never had this issue when running on a HDD. I just installed a new SSD a couple of days ago, doing a clean install of OS.

System Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
i3-540
GTX 460
Samsung 830 256gb SSD
