Did you try the steam support pages?

I did a search for Direct3DDevice9::Present() and found this.

Your error is at the bottom of the current issues list, so if you haven't already seen that page and provided them with what it says, doing so could help them find out what's causing it to happen for you and any other people getting it.



If you want to try and find the root of the problem yourself, these two questions are usually a good place to start.
When was the last time source games worked? (if they've ever worked)
And what do you remember installing/changing since then?
