Half Life error?

Hey guys when I'm playing HL: Counter Strike I get a lot of crashes where everything freezes up and sounds start repeating until I tab out and close the game w/ ctrl alt del. I'd like to know where I could pinpoint my problem so I could fix it. I'm assuming it's a generally known issue.

My system specs are:
1800+ @ 11x200 (2200)
SK-7 w/ Smart Fan 2
NF7-S
Buffalo PC3700 2x512
Radeon 9500 softmod 9700
Antec 350w
and some 80gb hard drive w/ 8mb cache

Thanks in advance for your help.

It wouldn't happen to give an error message liiiiikeeee.....

THIS!?



Ok... well that's fake... i just photshopped it in...

I really don't know what might be happening. What drivers you using? I heard some people are having troubles with Cat 3.8... if you are using them

Hello.

I'm Steve from Tech Support, How may I help you?

Half-Life crashed? Reformat the drive.

What, your CPU is overheating? Its making the case walls glow red? Reformating the drive will certainly fix that, to!

It fixes everything! Reformating will even bring a dead video card back to life!


Thankyou for calling tech support.

It COuld not be the soft mod what could be causing this?????

is your system stable? have you run prime to make sure?

Haven't run it yet. I just installed a new PSU and it's crappy, won't really let me overclock so I'm guessing the PSU just isn't giving up the juice.

My other thought was maybe the CPU just got too hot.
