Hello everyone.

At random points in Half Life2, the sound loops, everything freezes, and I either get a memory read error and can quit the game, or I get no message at all and have to do a hard reboot.

The thing I don't understand is....I got a good solid 6 hours or so (up until the Sandtraps section) with the game. Unlike other posts I have seen, where it's an error people have always had with HL2, this has only started happening recently. When I got my first memory error message, I assumed it was a one off, since it had been fine up until this point.

But now, I get it all the time, both in Hl2 and in Counterstrike: Source. Why has this only started happening now? I hadn't made any changes to the PC in that time. My specs are: (NOTHING is overclocked)

1 gig of ram
AMD Anthlon XP 3000+
GeForce FX 5700 LE graphics card.

Perhaps it's that patch...
