you mean a usb chip with the system restore on it or do you mean Deep Freeze?

I think she means one of these guys:

If you are bit using latest driver then update. If you are then you should switch to an old driver and use that until a fix is released.

What is funny is that this is not really the video cards fault but the game for having unstable or corrupted files. The issue with the video card is just that it is forcing the user out before they play the game rather than crash the entire computer later on.

Yea Ive actually gone back and am currently using an older driver. So far it now lets me play 3-4 hours before kicking me out of game instead of an hour of play. Funny thing is there are 4 newer updates that dont work... which tells me there is no promise the next update will fix any of my problems.

I have about 33 of these in my problems and solutions folder

Thanks for that, I chuckled a little myself when I read her post.

Ok so whenever i try joining a server in css it fucks up. I can enter the game, it just wont let me join a server. It gives me a Engine Error message saying "Internal Driver Error in IDirect3DDevice9::Present()" Then when i hit ok it gives me a message saying hl2.exe has to close. When i hit close it says hl2.exe-application error with a message saying "The instruction at "0x0e917e13" referenced memory at "0x00000038". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program. Then i hit ok and it closes out of the game.

Idk what to do to fix this, i dont want to totally reinstall steam cuz i would have to take all my skins off and stuff and i dont want to do all that over again. Please help if you got any ideas.

Do you play insurgency? If not, I had a problem where Insurgency made me get that error, frequently. Try not playing a certain game, while continuing CSS, and narrow down which game might be causing it.

That says CS:S crashed from a problem in Internet Explorer (mshtml.dll), which Valve uses for the MOTD in game and web browser in the game overlay. The DLL is a few versions old, too.

Try going to Windows Update and grabbing all the IE updates. Might stop the crashing.

I also noticed a few years back that CS:S hates it when IE has a huge internet cache. I had mine set to 3 GBs (my way of saving a copy of every website I visited). When I toned it back below a gigabyte, the crashing went away for me. So, also take a peak at your IE cache settings.

Anyone heard from MBP? Is he okay?

I get that hl2.exe error all the time. Usually when I minimize to check msn when the map is changing. Gets annoying after awhile, and I never was able to find a fix for it.

The fix would probably not to be on msn, or any chatting device, CSS is sensitive and a lot of things interfere with it, and it ends up getting a critical error.

Or when you tab back in and every texture is purple and black boxes.

I hate that.

you might want to get that little black chip that stores all your info from your computer (i think it's for laptops only, not sure) and whatever in it, so next time if you have a problem like this you wont have to worry

p.s. I don't remember what the chip was called, all i know is that my ex was a nerd like you guys (lol) when it came to computers !!!!! I cannot belive i'm still up wow, im about to pass out goodnights

found it!!!!
