Have looked round google and the likes bout trying to find info bout css crashing but no luck.

I'll be playing for like a minute and the game crashes, everytime i just start playing it will crash.

Anyone know info bout this?

maybe your videocard or cpu is feeling the heat

display or sound drivers might need an update?

try the support part of www.steampowered.com

also www.qgl.org/blamegen

maybe it was the gay s*** buying system they introduced?

who cares about the gay s*** buying system. First of all, f*** all servers run it, secondly its f***en pub so who cares anyway
its all about p90 rushing

video and sound cards are all upto date..

will check those sites, cheers

works fine on my 3 year old pc x800 pro and a stinking old 32 bit Pentium 4 go figure

i might give it another go if not all servers are running it, i thought it was a universal thing

everytime i just start playing it will crash.

you don't realise how significantly your life is about to improve.

sounds like heat issues to me

crash = freeze..

sorry

the game will freeze and just have a looping sound going

had the same problem..

i reinstalled steam and css / hl2, updated all video drivers and it worked for me.
mind you i did reformat like twice...(f***ed the 1st install fo windows; ha)

also, the easiest way to reinstall without having to decrypt any files is to back up your folder in steam (your account) and just copy and past into the new steam folder when you've installed from cd..

cheers

edit: ^^^ I just copy the entire steam folder to another partition/drive/computer those gcf files are huge.

I had that same lockup/freeze thing when I went from nvidia to ati video card without a format. I installed a clean version of windows and nothing but the ati drivers (none of that bulls*** control center crap) and ati traytools, overclocked the everloving s*** out of my dodgy x1300 and away I went. Playing on 1280x1025 everything on high averaging about 70fps on a 2.4ghz p4 @ 2.7.

As you didn't seem to give us any of your system specs, we can't really help you much. Installed any new software lately?

sorry thought this was about css bashing

cpu - e6300
hdd - seagate 160 and 400gb
os - xp
s'card - audigy live value
v-card - asus en7600gt
m'board - asus p5b deluxe wifi
ram - corsair 1gb(2x512mb)

only normal software like limewire, utorrent, creative mediasource..

I can only suggest usual troubleshooting tips

check temps/try pointing deskfan into case
try running just 1 stick of ram/swap which one is running.
take out soundcard

etc

only normal software like limewire, utorrent, creative mediasource..

dude - they introduced that crappy antivirus into limewire and similar apps for a reason eh. it's the key indicator telling you to get rid of the software.


that said - this only leaves about 2000 other possible things it could be causing your problem. good luck with that

it's a sign bro..
