Hello,

Alright, hope you guys can help me.
I have been having this problem for about 4-5 months now, and I cant seem to figure it out.

My internet Browser/s and game(counter-strike source) have been crashing randomly.
I mainly use firefox and it crashes mainly when I am looking at a youtube video or on a website with a flash ad or flash video. I am not 100% sure its because of that. When it crashes it comes up with the standard firefox box asking if you want to send it to the devs to look at. It does crash on internet explorer too.

Now cs:s crashes to my desktop with the standard half-life has crashed message. It mainly happens when I am scriming but does sometimes in a pub. I do get an average of +100fps with everything almost on full but it has been jumping down to 15-30fps on some maps and when there is alot of stuff happening on my screen. I do play with vertical sync off and I do get terring on my screen in the game.

I have reformated 3 times all clean installs with going to dos and reformating that way.
I have changed out my switch/linksys to a gateway/linksys to see if that helps and it didn't.
I have eset nod32 but I have uninstalled to see if that helps and it didn't.

Here are my temps for my gpu from Ntune
60c full load while playing
52c in my desktop

My cpu sits around 31-35c

Here are my specs
windows xp 32 pro sp3 with all updates from windows update
Installed Drivers nv4_disp (6.14.11.8585 - nVIDIA ForceWare 85.85)

Mobo: Dfi nf4 ultra-d
Cpu: Amd 64 +3700 2200mhz san diego

Gpu: Evga Geforce 9600gt 512mb Pci-e

Let me know if you need more info, Thanks

I would run memtest to make sure the ram hasn't gone bad, Also run prime95(one instance per core) to make sure your cpu is ok. Also something like ati tools' artifact finder to max the gpu out to see if it's getting too hot. While all these test are running, well the ones in windows I would keep speed fan up and logging temps so if it crashes you have something to look over to make sure they're not too high.
