I googled both those error messages and found a lot of suggestions but nothing concrete. I reinstalled my NVIDIA drivers, i reinstalled direct 3d. I reverted to my previous drivers after reinstall did nothing. I did a full virus/ spyware check. I did a disk defrag and a diskcheck. I disabled unnecessary processes and stopped useless services from starting up. I also deleted steam, HL2 and CSS and did a full reinstall. Also deleted the steam folder that saves maps and skins and settings and sh*t.
So after doing all that the game still keeps crashing even though i'm not even running vent. I uninstalled vent. The weird thing is it lets me load and play on any map now except for office. It will let me enter an office server and even spectate, but as soon as it places me in the game physically, IE at the start of the next round it crashes. Sometimes i am able to alt tab and then close HL2 but normally I have to reboot. If i am able to close HL2 it won't load any maps normally again until I restart the computer though. If i try to enter a game after any error without restarting it just sits at the loading screen forever and I can tell my computer isn't processing anything cuz the green activity light is dark. Ok guys, anyone have any suggestions to fix this sh*t? It sucks that I can't play on office and the game is only barely functioning. The only other thing I can think to do is reformat the computer, and that might not even work since I have a 1.5 year old POS Dell. Meaning I might be having hardware failure. Happened to a friend of mine with their Dell after 1.5 years. Next time I'm building my own like I did last time. Thanks for reading all this, hopefully somebody knows of something I can try. Later guys, I'm gonna go be pissed off some more now.
