Hi,
For past 2 days i have problem with steam.Everytime when i start pc and steam is running in background my windows 7 suddenly freezes and i have to reboot my notebook by button.It wont run in any other way its just frozen.I tried to look at FAQ and nothing usefull tried it all and nothing.I tried to repair steam - nothing.Also i tried to reinstall it nothing.Also i deleted everything that has something to deal with steam nothing at all.Everytime when updates after instalation occur...they go 100% bough of them and few seconds after that i get a freeze.Some hints or help?Im kinda TF guy and i dont know whats happening.And reinstalling my whole OS and formating my hard drive is bit too much just because some steam file got f*cked up...

Maybe you need to dig a little deeper.

Like test ya ram or ya hd for bad blocks.
i had the same prob turns out my hd died

but it was freezing steam not windows though.

so imo there prob could be a hardware fault on ya system.
seems like steam likes to pick them up.

The fact that you have to do a hard restart and that cleanly reinstalling Steam did not make a difference is a bad sign. I realize that you do not want to reformat and reinstall the OS, but that may be the best solution here as it sounds like this issue isn't being caused completely by Steam itself.
