OK my system is stable except for Counterstrike. 5-10 minutes after I join a game it'l give me an error, a bsod, or just a hard-lock. I really have no idea what's goin on. At first I thought it was my RAM running at Cas2 but even at cas 3 it doesn't work. Usually the error has somethin to do with nvopengl.dll but not always. I recently had to downgrade to 128mb of ram since my other stick died. Could this be the cause of my problems? Really don't know what to do at this point i've tried uninstalling and tryin a fresh install but its not working. This is the only game I actually play so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Fenix793

try running a hole bunch of other programs so you use over the 128 so you can check if there is an error in the alloted virtual memeory.\

run scandisk the defrag and if it still does it i think you might be able to run norton scandisk(you'll have to buy this one) and change where this is located..... correct me if i'm wrong on this one

cpu temp? vcore? Are the 12.90's the officials for the ME? Vsync and anti aliasing off?

Actually you can get a full working version of norton utilites which includes disk doctor and a host of other useful stuff, free from their site: www.symantec.com The only limitation is you get a nag window everytime you open it.

Put your T-Bird clock to default. You say its stable, but your obviously having problems, so it might not be. Worth it to check.

Also try reinstalling the vid card drivers... nvopengl.dll indicates drivers...
