Css startup - nothing happens

[mapper]

I just bought a new pc with ATI Radeon HD 5870 wich supports direct 11.

Also windows bit 64.

When I try to startup, there appears that window with Preparing to launch Counter-Strike-Source... Nothing happens after.

 

I tried reinstalling css, i downloaded direct x 9. I should have the latest drivers and such and any help would be appreciated.

 

Edit: btw, every other game works fine like half-life2 and its episodes.

I'm having a similar problem, I can start up CS but if I join a server as soon as the round starts (or shortly after my game crashes - "Half life 2.exe has stopped working" message pops up.) Maybe we have a similar problem, I assume it is linked to the updating but not sure.

That happens to me to but not to often maybe like once a week but its bareable

Are you sure you have the latest drivers? Also, there's know need to download direct x 9, i have the HD5750 which also supports direct x 11, also, are you SURE you have the newest drivers? You can find them on the AMD website.

 

Also, what card did you have before? If it was nvidia I would seriously recommend uninstalling the nvidia drivers as it might be interfering with your card.

 

Hope this help man!
