Steam freezes my computer.

You might have noticed I've been absent from steam after I've come back from my vacation. It's because the god-damned program freezes my computer every time I open it. I signs me in, opens up the browser and 10 seconds later the computer freezes. No blue screen, mouse doesn't work, ctrl alt del doesn't work and requires a hard reset. Fucking sucks but it doesn't matter since I'm building my own computer soon. I'm so sad. :(

Here's the details if anyone can try to help me.

I have problems like this as well, where my computer just...locks up. I'm not sure if it's steam or not, but it's REALLY annoying.

It looks like your computer meets the system requirements for steam, sadly, i can't help you by telling you how to reset your dell, does your dell come with a cd drive?
