:D well, i played for 4hrs straight last night, and not one crash, and thats with SEVERE underclocking of my card, but it still runs faster than my mates 8800GT.

All of your specs are really high, make sure to update you drivers and also u can try going to your steam consol, right clicking on the game, click properties, click launch options, and in the box type -autoconfig close the box and start the game, if that doesnt work if you havnt already there are loads of help in support section at steampowered.com

[thekrazed]

yeah, i found my problem. was infact that my GPU wasnt being supplied with enough power while CSS was running. Seems to get enough in COD4 tho. so thats a little wierd

[Jack.Sparrow]

Glad you sorted it out too krazed and thanks for posting back to say what the issue was.
