    Here's my problem:

    When I play counterstrike source, the game keeps on freezing then unfreezing then freezing again. You guys may/may not know what I mean so I'll try and put it into an analogy.

    Picture a video playing for 20 mins. After, someone pauses it at the most exciting part and your like WTF!! After, they unpause it and your happy again. Later, another person pauses it and, again, your like WTF!!

    This is basically what's happening to me.

    I don't know how to solve this-I've tried uninstalling counterstrike source twice already and problem is still not solved.

    Can anyone help me solve this problem?

    Serious replies only pls..

    Thx in advance

    Its a problem from your PC reaching the Server.
    If you see red writing in the top corner saying connection problem.. or something about flush.

    Tell me.

    Also what are your system specs (include internet speed)

    If its not connection lag... You can try running the game at a different DirectX level. My computer use to have no problem running Source when it first came out, and two years later it would crash every once and awhile. I just changed it to use a DirectX level of 8, which is the same level as my graphics card and it has not crashed on me yet.

    Either that you have a ---- load of skins installed and never got rid of the old ones [happened to me, and reformatted.] or your power supply is ----.
