Could be ram.
Could be gfx.
Could be drivers, I'd try drivers 1st, then give your memory a bit more juice.
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Sounds strange, but I've found that using the the coolbits reg hack to overclock my nvidia cards now all of a sudden crashes HL2/CS:S. I've had to switch over to rivatuner. Are you sing coolbits?

i bought a fx5700 a while back, after an hour or so it would crash reset pc etc,
i had an old k7s5a mobo, the fx5700 just didnt like it at all,i put gforce 4 back in and it was fine.
i tried the fx5700 on a new mobo and it worked fine,

i had an older radeon. that would do something similer. I would have a redudencey error and css would crash to windows. or freaze up. it was the drivers. i dont know if the geforce is having the same issue. just my input.
