Default VERY strange WINDOWS problem

Alright...

I have skype, ventrilo, hl2, and firefox open

Play hl2

map changes on public server

My computer stop responding (all the apps) but windows is still active and working. I decide to ctrl alt del and del all the processes for th eapps

Select process

Press delete

"are you sure bla bla" , YES

nothing happens


restart computer

play more hl2

map changes

BAM again

BAM again

Every time a map changes this happens. my computer should be able to handle it. It also happened when i was loading a game called fury, don't know whats happening and why windows won't let me delete processes..


help?


I was initially also getting bad frames in hl2, so i redid my drivers (it was happening before i installed the new drivers). My fps is fine now though, however, the strange fps lower was when it all started.

well... all i know is that HL2 doesn't always work so great with the 8 series cards

for example.. for The Fury on here - if he tries to run HL2 it just doesn't ever open... and he's tried pretty much all the 8 series drivers there are

i think it could be a similar problem that it just doesn't work with the 8 series cards well....

just a thought, cant think of anything else and good luck getting it fixed

it happens with other games too when they are loading

BTW, when i end the process the actual program closes, however, the process remains in the menu. Then when i try and reload the program it won't because its already "up"

Why is that? 99% of the time that you are playing you won't be using any other programs...

This sounds like a good thought have you ran memtest or anything to make sure you don't have a bad spot in your ram or a memory leak that overflows when you send so much to it like loading games and new maps?
