I am at my wits end folks.

Here is the story in a nutshell:

Purchased a Asus A8V motherboard and AMD64 3500+ chip. Using a Radeon 9800Pro video card with the latest drivers (4.12 I think).

Used to be able to play Half-Life (with the sound stutter problem) and CS played really well. Downloaded the "updates" and now CS crashes as soon as I get into a server (black screen with the wonderful looping sound). Played half-life without any problems (except for the sound issue). Downloaded the new patch for Half-Life today and low and behold I get screwed textures and the game locks up after 30 seconds. I think the sounds were fixed but who knows since the game locks up. GREAT!!! I am so happy they released a patch for me!! (sarcasm at its best)

This is the only game I am having trouble with. Doom3, Call of Duty, and everything else I throw at my machine runs smooth as silk. Is anybody else having trouble with the game locking up their machine and needing a hard reboot to get back to Windows?

Thanks.
