Hello again TechSpot people!
I'm having a big problem here.


I recently bought game Counter-Strike and now here's the problem:
When i run it,and try to connect to a server ( multiplayer) it loads for a second and then
what i can see is a BSOD :) .With other games it does not do that.

Here's what I've been doing to get rid of the problem:

*I updated BIOS
*Made Steam ( multiplayer engine ) Crash test
*Made sfc /scannow test
*Checked that my graphics card drivers are latest
*Made Windows Update
*Updated DirectX
*Used the Chkdsk scan
*Used Memtest to check memory

And still i get the lovely BSOD.

From BSOD I've been reading the following errors:
Page not found in nonpaged area;
IRQL not less or equal

Something with the following files,too:
dcmc0d0.dll ( not sure about the c's and 0's )
win32k.sys

I also searched the game support for help,found something,didn't help.
I posted it here,because i think it must be something with my hardware.
All help is welcome.

Mobo: Intel Rock Lake D865PERL

CPU: Intel, Intel Pentium 4 Hyper-Threading 2400 MHz

Soundcard: Integrated Intel 82801EB ICH5 ( Analog Devices/SoundMAX Integrated Audio )

Counter-Strike does not need Punkbuster.

Also,a new problem occured,as soon as i switch on my computer , my monitor goes on too,but after like 2 seconds, monitor goes to standby,I already tried another monitor so i think it must be something with videocard..any advices?
 
Yeah rollback your drivers to an older version, say two versions ago, and give it a try, if that doesn't work try shutting down all background programs ie "run"/msconfig/startup button. Sometimes that isn't enough so go to system under accessories in the start menu and check out running processes. I found a batch file that shuts down all unecessary background programs while playing games, it works great..... good luck!
