What's your computer specs? Please also include your power supply cause that may be the problem.

I have the ultimate help for you-- If you have two memory thingys dont have them in the slots next to each other. have a gap in the middle--- If you have 2 TRUST ME it works.

let me guess.....nvidia card? I've had the same problems since I've updated my video card drivers. I have to roll them back to play. Any one have a solution?

 

[pingu]

Heat issues

take the covers off and stick a big fan in front of it

Pingu u have a nvidia card. Since u have a invidia card it's probably one of the older ones like Geforce 4 ti4400 or somthing mx or something.. anyway since u have these cards the new nvidia drivers will mess up the game and cause it to restart. Best to delete the new drivers and install the old ones... 61.76

I have an ATI 9800 Pro, I've sorted the restarting, now CS:S just freezes, NOTHING else on my computer does this.

Have you tried forcing a lower level of DirectX? This should'nt be neccesary on your card, but still worth a shot.

Just run with -dxlevel 7 (or 8)

 

[comradpoplin!]
