CS2 keeps on crashing when I immediatly start it, need help please

[Sprite]

For the past few days or maybe weeks, I've been constantly trying to launch CS2 and after around like a few seconds of it being launched, it would just crash. But more recently it started to crash when I immediately opened the game. Idk what to do after reinstalling the game, checking the integrity of the files, watching Youtube videos with 0 success, Reinstalling NVDIA to see if that was the problem, Checking if all my drivers were updated. So if anyone has any advice on how to fix it, I would be appreciated

Hmm could you tell me more specific? Something like my computer running Intel Core i7 10 gen with NVIDIA RTX 3000 series.
What NVIDIA Driver are you actually download? Game Ready Driver or other? Better with Game Ready Driver. In NVIDIA Conrol Panel choose High Performance with NVIDIA and with Power choose Prefer Maximum Performance hope this may help
Also are you using laptop? If you are well you just plug the power adapter into your laptop.
About HDDs they are pretty old and not fast, it could be bad- REAL BAD HDD IN PHYSICAL. SSD's nowadays pretty cheap with 256GB you better grab one.
My theories well you just ran from old hardwares and Steam just lauch the game with recommend settings in game it could lead to the issue. You may try lauch windowed mode for test with Setting Game Launch Options.

I have my own pc with an RTX 3090 and an Intel Core i-9 14900k. I assume my NVDIA Driver is the GeFroce. I dont know the reason on why but I also believe it is from old hardware because my PC tends to Blue Screen quite a bit from error code "clock watchdog timeout". If there is anymore information I should tell you, please let me know :D

You'd have to be more specific. Let us know your PC specs.

I did encounter the same issue, what fixed the issue was just transfer the game from my HDD to SSD and upgrading my RAM.

I have exactly the same issue.
AMD Radeon RX6900XT, Ryzen 7 5800x, Gigabyte AORUS X570 mobo. I tried all the basic solutions: I have latest BIOS, latest Win11 updates, latest AMD Adrenaline graphics driver, checked integrity, uninstall then reinstall, but nothing solve the problem. CS2 just keep crashing my PC everytime I start it. I have 1100 hours played with CSGO and CS2 alltogether, and i have zero issues with this game earlier.

Oh I see you have big issue with Intel Core i9 14gen here. Have you flash bios from Intel or motherboard brand? If you already patched you may try undervolt your cpu. If you can't send your pc to technician ask for undervolt

Krnx, I have both a SSD and a HDD. My SSD being the C-Drive having like 200gb whilst my D-Drive having like 1tb of storage and has all my games stored in it. I also have 64GB of RAM. I will see if swtich from HDD to SSD works in a bit. 76561199389059995, I haven't Flashed my BIOS for my CPU or Motherboard. I will see if undevolting my CPU will work and applying the Flash BIOS. Thxs so much!

The 'fix' is just temporaly and the main issue with the cpu's are not dealt with and will continue to degrade. Just ditch the cpu and go for a ryzen cpu less trouble.

This step require caution . You may reset everything back to default in bios then apply the quick fix bios, after that you may undervoltage your cpu.

Well Intel 13,14 gen really have issues around, forums/technews/topics/threads mentioned this alot, maybe there is some hope with undervoltage yes. If @Sprite could afford another AMD platform for backup perhaps
