I loaded up Steam today to go play NS, but I first had to wait for the lastest update for Steam to download.
Once I got into a server I was having no problems, and everything was normal as usual - until the map changed. Once the map changed my computer totally locked up and I had to manually reboot my computer. This was surprising to me because I've not had an issue with NS or HL for a very long time.
After the reboot I loaded up Steam again and joined a different server. All was well until I hit the disconnect button on the Steam main menu to try and leave the server. Pressing it locked up my computer again.
Long story short, it seems like whenever I try to leave a server or the map changes my computer locks up now. This never happened until the most recent Steam update.
I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing something similar?
I also went and updated my video card drivers, but it didn't help.
SPECS:
Athlon 2400+
Radeon 9500 Pro
768 MB PC2100
Gigabyte 7VRXP
Soundblaster Live
Everything is running newest drivers now.

...and since today I get a popup box something about CS dunno what...
samething is happening to me
Crashes on quit/change server within game - hard power off only =/
Sometimes ctrl+alt+del shows up and i can end task, but that's on rare occasions :[
I'm finanlly understanding why you always hear "steam sux0rs!!1one"
Edit: Try and bring this thread to their attention <a href='http://steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64011' target='_blank'>"game freezes on disconnect 2"</a>
random complete lockup doing: mapchange, quitting, or disconnecting
started with the latest steam update march 10th, i think
Funny how it doesent happen in CS, but it does in everyother mod. They said they were gonna release another update to fix it "shortly"
task manager always helps me out , but its anoying
hope it gets fixed
LO, maybe it thinks that fallout-boy is a cheat. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Update CD - that fixed the problem for me. The latest version is 4.17.1
Exit Steam and go to c:/program files/steam folder and delete the clientregistry.blob file. I was having the same issue mentioned and this seemed to fix mine.
Basically when you start steam again it performs all the updates all over again without having to unistall/reinstall steam.
BWT- I know this isn't the new player forum, but this is my first post. Been playing NS for about month and I am hooked. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I cancelled out of it and no crashing thus far.
It was like it just came alive for like no reason.... <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> It just randomly picked a time to wake up <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
