ever since the new update i've been crashing so many (happens more in tournament mode) times.

what happens is that the game freezes and then loops the sound from the second that it crashes

dxdiag:

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: System manufacturer
System Model: System Product Name
BIOS: BIOS Date: 10/16/12 10:41:58 Ver: 51.09
Processor: AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~3.8GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8140MB RAM
Page File: 1812MB used, 14467MB available
Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
User DPI Setting: Using System DPI
System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent)
DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled
DxDiag Version: 6.01.7601.17514 32bit Unicode

i've already tried:

-installing latest video drivers
-reinstalling tf2
-verifying game cache files
-using or not using an fps config
-rolling back my video drivers
-disabling real-time anti-virus (not a good idea btw)
-lowering all video settings

anyone know any remedies to fix this?

thanks in advance <3

alright, i tried rolling back my graphics drivers and i played for like 30 minutes and it didn't crash..

but i might just be lucky, anywho,

i will test it for like 2 hours tomorrow and report back.

EDIT: rolling back video drivers did NOT work; I still crashed like normal.
restarting my pc did not work either.

No.

How about listing some useful stuff about your computer already. Use that speccy or if your computer is a prebuilt, then the model number. Are you on XP? You're fucked.

You can run a performance test on your computer to check for possible hard drive failure, 3d ability on the graphics card and other possible shortfalls of your system in its current state. TL:DR Same thing was happening to me. Old 8800GT and older HDD failed. YMMV

Thanks for the heads up. I did a check and everything was working fine. I might have found a temporary fix. I ran tf2 in big picture mode and didn't crash. Played for about 2 hours.
