Source games launch/start, and then close

I'm having an issue where every time I launch the game, it stops. It's been happening with every source game I've tried so far.

My Steam icon/status goes from in-game TF2, and immediately back to Online. hl2.exe remains in my active processes sometimes more than once but the game never actually launches a window or anything.

Looking around via Google, multiple people have had this problem in the distant past, but I haven't found a real solution.

I've restarted my computer, updated my AMD drivers, put -autoconfig in my launch options, verified my game cache, and still nothing. If this is happened to anyone else in the past, what did you do to fix it?

EDIT: Found my fix! Disabling Razer Synapse did the trick. Anyone with the same problem in the future using a Razer product(s) might want to give this a shot. Thanks again

This happened to me with csgo, I just reinstalled it and the problem fixed itself. I sat googling it for maybe an hour and zero of the "fixes" I found helped, reinstalling was all that worked.

No luck. For the record, CS:GO doesn't work either. I ran a virus scan using AVG and still nothing, and Valve's official support tip about specifically source games not starting isn't a help either.

I had this issue a while ago when I installed the Razer heatmapping beta. There were some conflicts with different overlays (Mumble, Steam, Razer, MSI Afterburner, etc.).

Check to see if there are any other programs running at the same time that may be causing that issue.

OP - have you tried reinstalling steam and/or the games?

I've re-installed TF2 to no avail; haven't tried Steam or any other game

I actually use all of the above, so I'll be sure to try this. Thanks for all the help
