When I click "find internet games" for either CS:S or HL2 DM or garry's mod, it will lock up and force me to reboot my computer. I dont know what could be causing this. I dont overclock anything on my system, I have the latest video drivers and everything too. I just run zonealarm, could that be causing it?

P4 2.0 ghz
1GB ram 3200
ATI all in wonder 9800 pro
 
It's certainly a possibility that Zone Alarm is blocking it. Of course the "Find internet games" section of the games connects to the master server to see what servers are available. Zone Alarm might be stopping the traffic and therefore is causing a crash on your system.

I recommend going through your ZA settings to see if you can manually add Steam.exe to the exceptions list, just so ZA knows that Steam is ok to use the internet.
