Alright, first things first. Update your drivers and bios if you haven't already.

If that doesn't work, I'd test your ram (what kind of ram do you have?) by running www.memtest86.com

i have corsair 1g 184 pin 400/ 3200, i updated my video card drivers from nvidia.com but i have not downloaded my driver for my bios where would i download that from?

From the manufacturers website, but you need to know what mobo you have. Above you listed what your mobo chipset is (k8t800), but not the mobo model.

You want to be sure your chipset drivers are current, as well as your bios. Intalling bios can be a little tricky. If you are uncertain, post here for help.

There you go. The board model is the kv8 pro.

Your chipset drivers and bios can be found here, on abit's website.

ok i updated all the drivers still the same thing, what else can it be have anyone had this problem before?

 

[DonNagual]

It is ONLY doing this to you in counter strike? You can play other games without crashing?

 

[akstylenyc]

i'm not sure because i only play counter strike, but i saw in other fourms people have the same problem doent seem like anyone has any solution for it maybe i need to get a new mobo you got any sugestions?

I am just asking because if it happens in other applications it could very well be a hardware problem, but if it ONLY happens when you are in counter strike, it is likely a software problem.

Why not go ahead and run www.memtest86.com anyways just to rule out any ram problems.
