when was last time u put thermal paste on cpu?
Posting the exact error message might help.
Your PC keeps running and only the game crashes?
Only happens in CS2? Or in different games as well?

Try to close and disable every application in your windows autotstart and that's currently running that you don't need.

Deinstal your gpu and chipset/motherboard driver, restart and re-install the latest, stable drivers from official site of the manufacturer.
(Do not just update them. Make a clean re-install with factory default settings in your driver application)

Try lowering in-game graphic settings or (lower) cap your fps in-game.

You can try switching from full screen to fullscreen-windowed in the in-game settings.


Good luck :)
FATAL ERROR: pak01.vpk is corrupt. Other times it'll be inferno map etc

I also found some guys on reddit claiming that lowering the speed of your RAM was the solution. Maybe enable/disable XMP in your BIOS, or run a memory test software in windows or simply lower your RAM speed, or make sure your ram timings matches the default timings. Check your motherboard specs about the maximum memory capacity and speeds and make sure you are within this range. Either / or ;)

Just paste the error message into google and you will find a lot of other tips.
Focus on your memory, maybe just remove one module.

Also make sure you have your RAM modules placed in the correct slots of your mainboard! Usually marked as DIMM_1 or something. It is written on your mainboard and you can find them in the user manual. Make sure dual channel is activated, in case u have 2 modules.

Good luck :)


Edit: If lowering your RAM timings fixed the problem, but you still want to use the highest timings possible, you could try to update your BIOS. Make sure you follow the instructions given by your mainboard manufacturer. Or ask a friend that knows what he is doing. Doing something wrong, or losing power while updating can brick your mainboard and make it unusable. Read some guides in the internet before you give this a try. Perhaps your motherboard manufacturer patched this problem with a newer version. Usually you can find some infos in the changelog.
But first try the other possible solutions and read the link to the official steam support site I sent you.

Sorry for my bad england :P
not my mother tongue
I stopped getting this when I turned EXPO off and verified game files.
