i'm having a similar problem myself on occasions.

Steam Support wrote:
If you try and start the game and end up at your desktop you should download and install the latest version of directx 9.0c found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/sear ... tegoryid=2

If you are locking up at the Loading screen you need to manually re-add the hl2.exe for each of your Steam games to your exceptions list. Once the game exe has been updated on your Firewall you should no longer lock up at the Loading screen.

On machines using nForce audio go to Options > Audio and switch to 2 speakers. This should stop you from crashing when joining your game.

There is also a crash that can happen with nVidia based video cards that is corrected with the following Beta drivers from nVidia:

Right-click on desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot.

Hardware acceleration on full?

Because CSS would not work for me if it wasn't on full.

I would verify your steam files , then perhaps quit steam, delete clientregistry.blob file (inside your steam directory), then restart steam to see if it solves.
