CS keeps shutting down

[Swedish]

CS will just randomly shut down and i will go to my desktop. it doesnt give any message at all. anyoen know what could be going wrong. i just re-installed it a few days ago.

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Did you update your video card drivers? What video mode are you running in?

i wish my computer could run it.


yeah i have downloaded the newest drivers.

[Swedish]

do you think they will sell CS:source by itself? i really ahve to urge at all to play half life. other then halo, counter strike is the only shooter i like.

Random boots to the desktop could mean that your videocard is overheating

Random quitting to the desktop could be many many many things.

Drivers
Viruses
Overheating

I knew it was those stinking Meices,,, I hate Meices to Pieces!!!

[Swedish]

im gonna guess its my video card since ive had other problems with that piece of crap. i really hate computers, they never work they way they should.

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Does your video card have a fan on it? Turn on your pc with the case open and see if the fans are all working properly, ALL the fans.

Meices, ahh, Southern hospitality at its finest :)

Oh yea, back on topic.

Sir Swedishness, have you tried playing any other games for like 3 hours to see if it happens with those too? If you play Counter-Strike using OpenGL (you should), play something with a OpenGL renderer. Doom 3 is an example. My mom brought home KFC. Also, your box (cardboard) doesn't happen to be OC'd right? You can also try updating you mobo drivers, but reformat is always my first option tehe :)

[Swedish]

i use to use xp and it never closed on me, but i reformated like 3 days ago (with windows 2000 because i couldnt find anyone with a xp). think 2000 coudl be messing somthing up?

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

i couldnt find anyone with a xp

You didn't ask the right people :)

[LA_MERC_Drax]

i play with win2k, and it worx fine

[Sergei Criffnoobsky]

I have win2k as well and everything is ok.

[Swedish]

im reinstalling again. gonna see if that fixed anything. it sucks, i have got to play for maybe an hour all week.

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

sounds like either your vid card's overheating or something is going on w/ your ram - how much ram do you have, and in how many sticks? if you have multiple sticks, try running them one at a time - if it works fine then, try slowing down the timings on them in the bios to see if they play more nicely together then.

[Swedish]

ive got 2 512 sticks of sd (i think). ill teset time out in a bit and tell you waht happens.

[Swedish]

well my computer just bit it for good. i push the button and nothing happens (yeah, everything is plugged in). my frined and i are about to start working on it today, but if we cant get it going i will probably be out for atleast the rest of the month.

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

that sucketh...very badly
