Speaking as a programmer myself, and someone who also builds PC and server Setups for a living I can state 100% there's no hardware fault on my box. Seems a bold statement, but I belive there's no _FAULT_. Maybe however there is an incompatabilty. Lol, I mean, it's not like the first time software written by valve doesn't work right now is it ;) I will check all my drivers are up to date (though I'm pretty sure they are already) and report back. I still think that if valve had my system and ran a debugger on it they *would* find a problem with their code and be able to fix it. - Something that I as a programmer am all to familiar with - "it works here" doesn't mean your software is bug free. I once had to install Windows 2000 chinese edition and use chinese fonts to find the cause of a crash bug in my software (which actually turned out to be a microsoft richedit problem rather than a bug in my software) but until I had checked it out and implemented a work-around there was no way for me to find or recreate the bug. Similar things could be happening to valve's software here. And I also disagree that just because I'm the first to report the bug doesn't mean I'm the only one suffering from it. - And I state that though years of experience dealing with users who just wait for the next version to see if it's fixed or not without actually reporting the issue.
