Weird crashes

[Eider]

Heya peepz
It's been a while since i've been here because i quit playing esf for more than a year now..

Information on computer:
AMD64 3500+ , X850XT, MSI K8N Neo4, 2x512MB DDR400 Corsair
=> no temp problems

I installed steam, halflife + ESF
(nothing modified - everything 100% up to date)
Mode = 1280*1024, OpenGL, 32bit color

The problem:
Game freezes, creating some kind of loop (e.g. the sound stutters, image freezes)
It happens at random but i found one way to crash my game everytime:
Candybeam with buu (or whatever that thingie is called ^^)

Anyone got a solution for this?

Make sure your drivers are up to date. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling.

drivers are up to date..
in fact, i had the same problem using a Pentium 4 2,66Ghz with a Geforce 6600GT
Don't know where to find the problem

That also happens to me, you're not the only one.....
But it only happens like every 5th time I play now, since I updated my drivers.

Still happens to me too. Something about HL memory blah blah, then it goes on to saying "couldnt read memory '908345789' x '39084'" something like that. It happens to me, if too many bots are on, OR... when too many people spam beams at my face. lol... lags me, then crashes...
