try putting your steam folder in your virus scanners exclusion list.

I seen this problem with corrupt RAM too.

This is a good tip. Probably your antivirus blocking the game's .exe file or others. Check this list out, as it is a good start for looking for problematic software concerning Steam and games.

Do you not have Kaspersky installed anymore then ? It is on the list.
