Is anyone else experiencing this?

no... upgrade?

Failing that, reinstall steam.

Make sure you keep a copy of your "SteamApps" safely stored in another folder on your computer before you do and then copy it back afterwards, it will save you over 8 GB of downloading. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This doesn't appear to be a bug. Moving to tech support.

I read something about the ATI, and I don't like it. Why do only ATI Radeons crash?

(As to mention, I only got a 9550)

Do you have the latest catalyst drivers? Try those. If so, try a downgrade.

I'm sorry, I'm only a specs guy and only know how to work a computer. I can't stand constant computer jabber sometimes. Can you lay it out for me in plain old english?

Catalyst: ATi's name for their Unified Driver Architecture (Anyone being picky will tell me that the CCC version only covers the 7500 upwards, UDA's only cover current chipsets...). Comes in 2 different flavours. CCC, and Non-CCC.
CCC: Short for "Catalyst Control Center", and comes with a funky settings program, but relys on Microsoft's .NET techonolgy, and therefore doesn't work properly with Linux.
Non-CCC: Traditional controls, located within Display Properties->Settings->Advanced. Perfect for people with older versions of Windows, or people using Linux.

Both versions can be downloaded from <a href='http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=18' target='_blank'>Guru3D.com (link leads directly to ATi Downloads)</a>. Make sure you get the right drivers for your version of Windows, as they are starting to put up Media Centre Edition, and XP64 versions, as well as 98/ME, and 2000/XP ones.

Hope that little bit helps.
