CS will crash at random times.. during random lengths of game play and always gives the same memory access "read" error.. I did mem86 test.. my memory is fine.. I heard this is a common issue... Any idea's for a fix? It just startd this sh*t up recently and progressively got worse.. it does it usually every time I play now..

Yea, this has happened to me before. I forgot who helped me with it and what it acctually meant but you need to reformat i think. good luck with that I know how f*ckin annnoying it gets .

I hope it ain't a reformat :(

Btw, I am running 1gig of Mushkin Lvl2 memory in dual channel on a 3000+ A64 in a Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR Ultra board.

The longer you let memtest run the more pinpoint the results are gonna be. Even if it reaches 100% let it go some more. It just keeps going. Maybe let it go for like 30 minutes. Just let it do its thing and if it locks up then its probabley a memory leak or a bad slot on your motherboard. If this happens do as derek said, switch the memory around in the slots. If it keeps running and it didn't freeze, then check the summary and see if there were any random errors.

If playing around with the memory doesn't work, then try reinstalling counter-strike.

Does this happen in hl2 also? Run hl2 and see if it happens. If nothing happens in hl2 then its css. Then you just reinstall css.
