I m down to the patch solution, as I did that 3rd off before posting here... well, maybe this will give the excuse I've wanted to get a new machine... *grins*
Its an old card, GeForce GT 240 I am thinking it might be a hardware issue at this point, there's no over heating in my CPU or GPU, but it seems like the fan on my power supply is not really moving air... so maybe my power supply is overheating when I start drawing more power?
I have nvidia, I just updated today to the most recent to see if that would solve the issue; it didn't. I tried a few other games as well and am having the same seeming crash on L4D2.
dxdiag reported no issues, crash report gave me this: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 116 BCP1: FFFFFA80033C91E0 BCP2: FFFFF8800F99E28C BCP3: FFFFFFFFC000000D BCP4: 0000000000000003 OS Version: 6_1_7601…
I am also BSODing, (so says the error I get when the machine restarts) but my machine just goes black and the computer restarts. This has been since the last two patches...
