crashing like crazy

So for the past like 4 weeks i've been crashing a lot, and it is not related to any certain event in the game (i.e. ubering or dying), it is just random crashes throughout the game, and it got to the point where i can crash 2+ times in one scrim. I already reinstalled, and verified my cache files, so I am guessing it is something with the drivers, which I know nothing about.

While I know I am on an early 2008 iMac and I bootcamped over to windows, I would like to know if there is ANY possible fix besides getting a new computer.

I will probably be buying a new computer soon, I just need a short term fix until I can buy one.

if you can help add me - http://steamcommunity.com/id/biga__

Unexplained crashes? Try changing mat_queue_mode to `-1'.

Are you using my cfg?

If so you may want to make sure cl_threaded_bone_setup = 0
(I believe iMacs in 2008 were dual core)

Removed my hud, still crashing. (sorry for constantly bumping, but crashing in every scrim as a medic kind of sucks)

Try removing your config. I got a new computer a few weeks ago and I crash using pretty much any config, luckily I still get playable frames even without removing all the unnecessary graphics.

i removed prec and made sure i had nothing else open except tf2 and mumble, and i didnt crash for 3 days, however today i crashed 4 times in 20 minutes. Made sure the temperatures were okay and it looks as if im not overheating, still have no idea what could be the problem.

Just crashed 3 times in one scrim, I turned off my computer for 2 hours before the scrim to make sure it didn't overheat, I have absolutely no idea what it can be.

I would probably look in to upgrading your computer. Just as a general suggestion

Are your video drivers up to date? Did you try setting the hl2.exe process on high? Do you have any outdated custom files that could interfere with stuff that is going on? Did you check for malware?

Have you removed all your custom content (huds, PREC, etc) and run the game using the -autoconfig option?
