Seems to have been oficially finally moved now, but if you type in "is this a good gaming pc?" (with the quotes) I guarantee you steam will do something funny once it gets to the screen.

This is the only one in any of the discussion groups where a mouse-over of the topic eats your machine.
It locks up steam and eats up 100% cpu. I've verified that the ones before and after do not do this.

Of all things to eat my computer alive... a forum post... and one thats technically not even here...

I'd gladly speak to an admin and if you have the capability to watch my network traffic while I mouse-over (I'll suddenly not be online anymore) you can probably deduce whats going on. Oh, steam will still be running, but I'll be on my way to force-quitting since it will be locked up.

Even more hats, but fewer cosplayers.

VgaSave is the default Windows provided driver for generic video cards.
Steam's main window has a menu item that will tell you what Steam thinks it is... click on Help, then System Information.
If that is inconclusive try looking at it in Device Manager, DxDiag, or even.... turn off your computer and pull the card and read it.

Tell us what model number your current video card is and maybe you could play some of the more advanced games at low resolution, etc.

Yu may have answered your question within your question....

Give it a try.

How does your computer stack up compared to the minimum requirements on the TF2 store page (at the bottom)?
I think either your short of RAM or your video card RAM isn't large enough so it can't load all of the textures (metal, brick, etc). I can't determine if you need a newer video card, but anything recent (past 3 years) should be able to handle it(if thats the issue at all).
If you meet the hardware requrements, then maybe TF2 got corrupted somehow. Try validating the steam cache (Right-click TF2, pick "Properties" from the popup, find the "Local Files" tab) and then run TF2 again.
Good luck fellow pyro. If you need more help or got it working find me on steam and lets melt the enemy together.

We tried, we were awesome in our own way to get valve to speak or say anything about HL2Ep3/HL3(I heard the group itself was on the news...somewhere)... and then we lost our momentum.

Info and/or the game will only happen when Valve considers it ready. It seems nobody can even find out if they're even working on it(point of the group). You'll just have to wait now, like everybody else.

3. Trade them on steam
4. Profittt!!!

I heard that the maintenance is scheduled once a day but I've only heard it through other people. I'd appreciate some kind of popup in the client (way ahead of time, each time) about a planned outage due to maintenance, otherwise I figure its just bad network code. This stuff happens possibly several times a minute, or a few hours. Sometimes it doesn't get disconnected at all (for days). It can last for about a minute... or for 20 minutes. No way to tell.
