Get a Ram-checker, check your ram. Might be faulty. If so, get new Ram.

Half Life 2 Memory Error Fix
Ok everyone, I have the solution for the load failure with no error. There is in fact an error and it has to do with memory. You may or may not get this error message that looks like this: "The Instruction at "0x241f8977" referenced memory at "0x01cdf5c0". This memory could not be read".
Here is the fix:
First location:
Right click your Half Life 2 icon on your desktop (the one you would normally double-click to launch the game). Then click Properties. Click the Shortcut Tab. In the line labeled Target, you will see something like this, depending on where you put the program when you installed it:
"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 22
Copy and paste the following AFTER the above line:
+mat_forcehardwaresync 0 +snd_async_prefetch_priority 1
Be sure there is a space between -applaunch 22 and +mat
Click save and you are ready to go.
Second location:
From the Steam Play Games Menu, right click on Half Life 2. Choose Properties, then click Launch Options. Paste the following in the box.
+mat_forcehardwaresync 0 +snd_async_prefetch_priority 1
Click Ok and you are ready to go.
Do the same fix for Half Life 2 Deathmatch and Counter Strike Source.
Offline and Online Mulitplayer modes will should all work now.
Good Luck!!!

Thanks but it still won't work. It no longer gives an error message but it kicks me back to desktop as soon as the Loading screen comes up. And everytime I try to restore it it just keeps kicking me back to the desktop

Flair,
Here is another possible fix:
Change your Virtual Memory settings to Min 512 and Max 2048 or let Windows decide the size.
