dunno if anyone knows what wrong but..

whenever i play CS, my pc will restart at a random point while playing, no warning, no crash, no error. This happens when i play it with custom/default content, on other steam account. But it does not restart on any other Steam games, eg. DoD, CS:S, etc.
This started happening quite recently so I isntalled service pack 2 but tbh that made the whole situation even more frustrating (still restarted), uninstalled that and still restarts.

Im running XP Pro, SP 1, got norton antivirus 2005 and Internet Security 2005, got Direct X 9.0c installed tried rolling back to 8 didnt help.It does not restart on any other games like Doom 3 Farcry or Unreal 2004, and yes i have done a fresh install of Steam,CS, blah, blah, blah

PC specs are (if this would help)
[CPU]: P4 3.4GHZ HT 800FSB [MB]:ASUS P4P800 SE [HD]:Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 160GB Serial ATA150 7200rpm 8mb Cache [SEC.HD]:Western Digital WD2500JD 250Gb 8mb Cache 7200rpm Serial ATA [Audio]:SB AUDIGY 2ZS 5.1 [PSU]:Globalwin Sapphire Super Silent 19dBA 520W ATX Power Supply [RAM]:Corsair (TWINX1024-3200C2PT) 1024MB (2 x 512MB Matched Pair), DDR400 / PC3200, non-ECC, Unbuffered [GPU]:nVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB :o

if anyone has a clue please reply
 
The only thing I could think of would be overheating, but that seems almost impossible as with newer games you aren't having this problem....peculiar.
 
Remove your models and sounds folders. The last patch and custom stuff are causing that.
