Counter Strike Crashes My Machine! by WaqasTariq on 11-11-2007 at 08:59 AM
Hello,
Everytime i try starting CS I get a BSOD, now it can not be the processor / memory over heating as i thought of it my seelf to, as I have just turned on my machine after 10-14 hours and launched CS it crashed...
I think the problem it the when I put the CS Video into OPENGL and 32 BITS... or even SOFTWARE 32BITS it crashes...
It might work on 16BITS but I have to try that....
also can anyone tell me... what does these mean in any games...
OPENGL = ???
SOFTWARE = ???
D3D = ???
my computer specs are in my signature....
please anyone I need help.... also to note is that I used to play CS on this same machine (pir) and it was working Ok, and when I bought CS last morning the troubles started.
*EDIT* ok now it crashed in 16BIT mode to so it doesnt work at all...
the BSOD says ... PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Try updating your GPU drivers, they are most likely the problem. If you got a Nvidia card, download your drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/.
OpenGL, Software, Direct3D are three different render engines. I recommend reading about them on Wikipedia. Software is the only engine that doesn't use your graphic card, that's why it's slow and the outcome is bad.
I would recommend using 16 bits instead of 32 bits, because you can see through smoke-grenades with no fps-drops. You won't notice any other difference using 16 bits.

First do what vikee suggested (update your GPU drivers).
If that doesn't work, then go in steam -> right click CS: S -> Properties -> Set launch parameters for this game -> Type "-dxlevel 8" -> OK.
See if that solves your problem.

Did it ever work on that specific machine?

I have a built-in graphics "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with
"and it is upto date.
and 16 BITS is also crashing

Ok I will do that but first i think I might have figured the problem...
My local intranet CS servers require and OLD software version of sXe Injected v3.9 to be run before the CS is launched...
I just close sXe Injected v3.9 and CS is working fi9 in OPENGL 32BITS
what should I do??? i can not play on my local intranet with out first launching sXe Injected v3.9....

It is most likely your drivers update them.
