CS:S locks up during gaming...

[Endurancevm]

Im not exactly sure if this is a hardware or software issues, so please pardon the post in this forum if the issue regards software.

My problem is that CS:S keeps locking up randomly after playing for about 10minutes or so. I have no clue why because every other game runs perfect for hours. Games such as Prey, BF2, COD2, GRAW run absolutely fine for hours.

Im in the midst of re-installing CS:S, hopefully that fixes my issues.

At one point i figured it was because the heat on the OCs but then my temps are fine. The RAM feels only warm to the touch during gaming. My CPU reaches 44C load and my videocard runs 56C load.

Any input as to whether anyone else has this problem or knows a fix for it is appreciated.

sounds like a bad install.
try reinstalling steam if that doesn't work.

You could try updating your drivers.
