I had this problem.
I have a athlon (model 2) with a GeForce and a SB Live! value. It would happen the most when the system temp got too high and the Video card would heat up. If my computer room was too hot I could never play. I ended up disabling the agp 4x overclock to solve it. Hasn't been an issue since. It took 6 months after building the system for it to become an issue. Random freezes and such. Then it would happen every time CS was done connecting to a server. Frustrated me to no end too. Reinstall Windows, upgraded to Win2k, tried with DX7 and DX8. Now I can run openGL again. -- Chuck Larson If Bill Gates had a dime for every time Windows crashed...
