Files constantly failing to validate

[bikeracer4487]

I've run into an issue where when I run "Verify integrity of game cache" it ALWAYS finds files to validate. It has happened on two games now: Total War Rome II and Call of Duty Ghosts. Both games crash frequently and both games find files that fail to validate, but they NEVER have all files successfully validate and I've been unable to get either to run without crashing after 10-30 minutes.

I have 4 other games installed on Steam and all of them are able to successfully validate all files. I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the offending game to no avail. I've also run the Disk Checking tools from my C Drive Properties > Tools menu, as well as run "chkdsk /f" which runs chkdsk on boot, neither run showed any errors in the drive. I've set my BIOS back to defaults with no overclocks and eliminated all but the essential services and programs from starting doing boot, including disabling my antivirus. But still the files refuse to validate.

I'm at a standstill with both Steam and Activision support, and I haven't been able to find anything with Google, so I'm REALLY hoping someone here might have some ideas. Thanks in advance!

Also, this isn't a case of ONE file failing to validate. Everytime I run it there are a different number of files that fail to validate. Some are files that have failed validation previously and since been redownloaded, while others are new and have never failed to validate.

As I said, I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling both games, as well as just deleting all the files and then running the validation.

I'm having this issue with Sims 3; always 4 files that fail to validate no matter what I do. It's got paths through the firewall set up, I've cleared the download cache and repaired the library folder... Nothing is fixing it. It's a problem because the game keeps freezing every 5 seconds and I've been getting so damn pissed at it that I've very nearly punched my laptop over here.

I am at my wits end.

Specific files failing is normal.

If you want assistance regarding your game's performance, post in the discussion hub of the game, not a four year old thread you dug out from its grave.
