Ever since around may of 2013. I've been getting this problem that has been driving me crazy.

I start up TF2, CS 1.6/source etc. I join a server, and i'm able to play for a little bit. But, then I get disconnected from that game's game servers. I check my internet but it's NOT my internet. Does anyone have the same problem? I think what i need is either a new router or modem. But i'm not sure. Anyone, I mean ANYONE please help me on this issue.

Retry just reconnects you to the server. I get STEAM validation the first time I do it and it reconnects me the second time.

My hl2.exe has been randomly crashing recently.

After googling up the error, I found out it could be my RAM. Hopefully it isn't. Now I'm re-installing tf2. :(

firewall?
when you lose your connection to a server, can you still ping it ?

but yeah that just sounds like a shit modem/router. if you don't want to buy without being sure borrow one

you ask a friend to borrow theirs, or if they have a spare. note that an ISP supplied modem may not work.

when you open the server browser and stop the refresh does that help?

I've had it for as long as I can remember. Happens only the first time after opening TF2, it's fine after that. It has nothing to do with failing internet, everything else works fine when it happens.
I doubt it'd be RAM, but the refresh idea might be something. Then again, doesn't refresh stop automatically as soon as you join a server?

I know that many people have had issues with the server browser in the past and you can lower how many servers it refreshes per second/minute because it will flood your modem. It would normally kill all your internet ability for a min or two so the fact that you can browse means it may not be the issue, but it's worth a shot. So as soon as you open the "server" tab go to "internet servers" and stop the refresh.
