Server sticks on loading

[MegaDeath409]

I have installed and reinstalled this server 3 times, in 3 different locations on this pc. The first 2 were using HLDS, the last being done with armpit's installer. I start the server, no addons or anything, and when i run the shortcut, or bat file, it comes up with the little GUI menu for picking the server data, and i put in what i want to run, and click launch.
It then goes to the loading screen, which works as it should for a few seconds, and then apparently stops drawing to the screen, and freezes up entirely, I let it sit in this state for 3 hours and nothing has happened.

This also happens on every game hostable by TF2DS, including garrysmod, tf2, CS:S, DOD:S, and HL2M, but the old srcds runs fine, the non-orange-box games. I'm lost... Any ideas on what I should do?

Anyone?

Try to add -verify_all to the update line see if all the files are correct.

Also, have some patience, really no use asking again after only 2,5 hours. I visit these forums 3 times a day and that's more than enough.

I ran verify_all a few times, and just now ran a fresh install through hldsupdatetool, still nothing, but i have more information.

I'm running in console mode now, it says "Console Initialized.
ConVarRef mat_dxlevel doesn't point to an existing ConVar
Game.dll loaded for "Garry's Mod"
" And then it sits there for the rest of time :/

What's the stats on the computer?

Also at Drocona: Only 3 times a day? Psh. You should quit your day job and sit on the forums all day

Stats:
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4ghz*4
Asus Striker Extreme motherboard
8800 GTX Ultra
2 Gigs ram
500 Gig HDD
XP Professional x64 SP2 (SP3 is not yet available for x64, apparently.)

That should be about it...

[MegaDeath409]

Don't tell me there's no fix... I NEED this server!

64bit XP is based off of server 2003 and therefore there is no SP3.

[MegaDeath409]

That is kinda unrelated... But thanks I guess...
I still need help with the server though D:

[MegaDeath409]

Well, this is a problem then... There goes my source of income :/

what does your launch line look like?

[MegaDeath409]

I don't have the shortcut i had made anymore, but i have had it checked over multiple times by others who run large server networks, they said its right, and one of them actually uses the same launch line, so that's not the problem. Also, the in-steam one also fails when using the gui on ANY GAME, hl2 deathmatch and CS:S fail by disappearing, while tf2 and dod: source just sit there frozen.

[HBS|Ryan]

lets see it anyway

so it just sits at "Game.dll loaded for "Garry's Mod" unresponsive?

you cant type anything into the console?

[MegaDeath409]

Yes, i cannot type anything, it sits there as if the program itself has cut processing. :/

Ok, this is extremely messed up, I just used hldsupdatetool to get the files on my little computer, and the dedi ran fine on it with the command line:
"C:\Servers\Source\orangebox>srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct +maxplayers 10 -autoupdate"
I copied the files over through the network drive onto the server, tried running it and all i get is
