I dont get dis error in any other game....so heating of cpu/gpu can be ruled out...and yes....hav reinstalled the game lik a billion times....it happens on Steam too !!

Have googled a lot for the solution....many say the drivers r corrupted...but its not the case....i hav reinstalled drivers nd Vista several times... :huh: :huh:

Some say it has to do somthin with the Graphic card.... :huh: :no:

Have any of you come across dis error.............

try in XP

maybe an update to Vista has screwed up something, try and run CS on a fresh install of Vista without any of the last 3-4 week of updates.

1. Have you installed any windows update files recently ? System restore !

2. Go to Device manager > Display adapter (your gfx card) > Properties > Roll-back dirver if still persists then Uninstall driver, then reinstall the drivers.

3. Reinstall Vista !!!

 

[Nixy]

no...i havent installed any updates

reinstalled vista just few days bck...

but i've installed a 'March 09' OEM of vista....so it must b havin all the updates....cud dat be the problem????

Download Process Explorer and check if there are any hardware interrupts ?

Try installing normal vista sp1 and then download and install necessary updates.

 

[ultra vires]

After you have started counter strike go to windows task manager and give highest priority to the CS process ...

try this and report back..

 

[Nixy]

well...tried the priority thing...dint work
