I recently found a trojan using Malwarebytes Anti-Makware full scan and had it removed. My laptop is a Sager NP9280, purchased almost 3 years ago. Using an application called Steam Tool, a third-party software not created by Valve, I moved the game to my portable F: drive (a 1TB 5400rpm HDD connected via USB) to free up space on my SSD (which now has almost 27 GB of free space). Windows and Steam (the launcher for L4D2) are installed on the C:drive, 120GB SSD. I own the legit/non-pirated version of Left 4 Dead 2. Looking over the Process Monitor log after the game crashes, before the Left 4 Dead 2 Thread Exit operation occurs I see that there are many RegOpenKey events resulting in NAME NOT FOUND. In my search for a fix, I came across a tool called Process Monitor. I've deleted and reinstalled the game, updated my graphics card driver to the latest one, and verified the audio driver and bios are the most recent. I noticed this problem started happening after I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express, which leads me to believe there is something wrong with Windows perhaps. Most of the crash fixes are about at least 1 year old. I've poured over the Steam forums and other related sites in search of solutions for 'random' crashes with Left 4 Dead 2, but none worked for me.
Though I can always kill the game via Task Manager, it rarely crashes to desktop on its own. Whenever the game crashes, the sound always loops.
