Crashing Under Intense Gameplay

Actually its 2 problems but I think they are related.

<u>Problems</u>

Whenever I use half life voice communications longer than 10 seconds the game crashes back to windows.

Whenever I go fade and blink/swipe in and out of fire in rapid succession sometimes while metabolizing and after doing this for a while my it boots me out of the game back to console with a Bad command parse error.

My system specs are as follows....

I used to have a problem with voice comm on NS. Usually it would occur when I was using voice comm, plus moving and/or firing.

The solution, oddly enough, was updating the firmware on my linksys router.

I know normally this is not a prob you would expect a router to cause, but there's a big long post on the steam forums about it.

Anyway, worked for me, and is probably worth a try for you.
