Could it be a hardware driver conflict. I know I have a couple boxes I can't stick COD4 on becuase it goes bonkers everytime I do, and the only simularity I could find was the motherboards so I just decided I couldn't host COD4 on that motherboard (at least when combined with my setup).

Try the left 4 dead on a machine with different specs.

Open up your task manager and cycle though maps. Check which processes are causing the cpu spikes.

 

Also do you have UAC disabled? not sure if it would make a difference but we have ours disabled. Every game works fine with UAC except batlefield and the remote manager. This might be another game that doesnt operate well with it.
