heres what i did, well at least i think it worked, i happened to have a tv tuner card, cost me 20 bucks, and it wasnt bad, but for some reason, i uninstalled it and it fixed my "counterstrike makes computer restart problem... ATI Tuner cards will f*ck up so many variables with computers its rediculous. mine would freeze every time i used it.... oh well, i think that was my problem, if not, i will continue to search for my ultimate counterstrike solution........
