Hello
Oddly enough I haven't experienced it yet with Counterstrike Source but when I played other HL2 mods like Goldeneye, Team Fortress Forever, and today Team Fortress 2, after a random period of time my computer restarted. It could be 5 minutes it could happen after 40 minutes. After I log into Windows an error message shows saying "The system has recovered from a serious error"
The error report contents show:
C:\DOCUME~1\jtm\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERb6ac.dir00\Mini08 2208-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\jtm\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERb6ac.dir00\sysdat a.xml
When I send the error report it sends me to the Microsoft website where it tells me:
Blue screen error caused by a device or driver
You received this message because a hardware device, its driver, or related software has caused a blue screen error. This type of error means the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from potential data corruption or loss. In this case, we were unable to detect the specific device or driver that caused the problem.
What do you think the problem could be?
My system is:
AMD Barton 3000+
FIC AU13
ATI X800 XT
2.5gb of DDR400
Creative X-Fi
380w Antec PSU
Windows XP SP3
ATI Catalyst Version: 2008.0703.2236.38526
Do you think my video card could be overheating? I dont see any lines or colors on screen or any artifacting. I play AOE III and BF2 and this doesnt happen. Though BF2 has crashing to the desktop a few times for me. But I can generally play for hours on end and nothing happens. I have an aftermarket fan that im going to install later in the week when my AS5 comes in so I'll see if that helps. I have 5 case fans so I dont think that is the issue either.
