Im using steam version, and half of the servers I try to join, I crash when the loading bar finishes. Usually one or two servers work on my list of servers that I get, and they are always the same ones that work. All of the servers that crash me are the same ones every time as well. (So I blame it on the servers.) I more then make a mockery of all requirements of steam or anything there is, so my machine can handle it. I searched all the posts about crashing, and even renamed the line of text in the one file to hl.dll, but when I do that, the only thing that starts to happen is then I can't even create a server without it crashing. When its called bot, instead of hl.dll, the only difference is I can make my own server to fight bots. Ive reinstalled over and over, and even in different places. I have brand new drivers up to date, Direct X 9.0B, and ive formatted the computer a few times, with the same problems. Anyone know anything else I can do to try to fix this, or does everyone crash trying to join most of the servers? Here are two links to a picture of the problem:

EDIT: 24 bit textures has been turned off from the start. My FX is low. The reason has to be something related to the fact its only happening on the same servers each time.
