    As the title suggests I can't launch any steam games on my pc. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the games. I've uninstalled steam and reinstalled it. I've checked the integrity of the game files. I've disconnected my gpu. I've taken out each stick of RAM and changed channels. Any ideas as to what the problem is?

    Have you updated the driver for gpu lately? Does it say a message when they wont launch or just nothing happens?

    Drivers are up to date. Battleblock theatre I get a message saying its "failed to initialize (probably ran out of memory)". With the rest of the games, they go to launch, as in a window pops up, but then just immediately close.

    That really sounds like a GPU driver problem. Have you uninstalled and done a fresh reinstall of the driver? I had the same problem a few months back and a fresh driver install sorted it.

    I'll give it a shot. I've removed the gpu from the motherboard so I don't see how it would be that. I hope it is.

    I had a similar problem to this a while back, I ended up uninstalling the GPU drivers and then re-installing an older driver. Seemed to worked fine for me. If that fails I would take out the HDD (if you haven't installed the games on your C drive) and see if they work on another computer.
