Steam not working, just logs in and goes DUDUDU - Hardware & Software

So, my steam doesn't work. It says connecting to account: geogzm and then fades away and makes the "DUHDUHDUH" noise. Any ideas? Also says not respoinding just before TRIED: deleting clientregistry.blob reinstalling removing and then installing

someone?

Have you tried a different account? (if you don't have multiple accounts just create a temporary one) this is just to be sure that it isn't your account that is the problem.

what the hell is this 'dududu' sound you're saying

[QUOTE=alt;26429158]what the hell is this 'dududu' sound you're saying[/QUOTE] the failure noise that plays when steam gets something wrong, or if something's not allowed, similar things to that the low pitched bell noise

did a registry cleanup, fixed my itunes/quicktime problems but steam is still screwing with me keep uninstalling/reinstalling (clean, deleting valve from the registry and such) as well help

defrag computer

Call steam support?

It sounds like a connection problem, stalling steam. Disable firewalls, run steam as administrator.

Using Google I found some relevant problems that other users have (As recent as 2 days ago). Appearantly it could be the new update that is screwing with you. Haven't found a fix yet though.

still no reply from steam support

heres an idea that fixed a similar problem for me. Steam doesn't actually hang half the time, windows displays it as not responding (which it is) but in the background steam is crunching numbers for some reason, if you just wait id say at least half the time steam comes good again after a while

so do you mean, after it freezes and closes itself, wait around? Last time it crashed on me I was still sat on my computer, ignoring it, and steam didn't come up.

Ah, if it completely closes then no. I guess you just have to wait for an update to fix the problem.

:emo:
