Hi, Thanks for the suggestions.
I've already ran memtests, and all report being O.K. I also tried to increase my virtual memory, but that hasn't helped either. Besides Winamp, pretty much nothing is running at the moment I start TF2. The only things which are turned on are AVG (which is low on resources), mIRC and winamp. I could imagine something like this occurs on a heavy loaded machine, but this one is pretty much idle when the game is started.

Most things just don't work well in it. The Paged Pool Memory error is a common bug. If it happens less with LESS RAM, I'd run error checks on your memory. It could be that some of the sticks are bad, or are going bad. You may also want to increase the size of your virtual memory, and close any programs that may be memory hogs (Firefox, IE, virus scanners, etc). Saint K. wrote: > Your so god damn funny...
