freezing up in halflife team fortress

[paun]

after playing for 2 hours i have frozen up solid in team fortress twice. I have a software program called hmonitor that measures mobo temp and general voltages.all temps and voltages are fine except for one.A reading called core voltage was in the red.It was at 1.51volts.My cpu is a intel 550 p-3 slot -1 100fsb 512cache.I believe it's voltage is 2.0 volts.That was the minimum that my hmonitor program said the core voltage was supposed to be.Could the cpu core voltage running at 1.51 volts instead of 2.0 volts cause the cpu to overheat or malfunction?Or could this freezing up problem after two hours of game play be caused by something else.I need some opinions. thanks paun-----------

does the core voltage ever hit the red outside of HL? if your playing with the new patch, go back to the old models. in your cfg folder set the 'tfc_newmodels 0'.
if you have to play with the new ones put 'gl_maxsize 512' in your autoexec file in the tfc dir. the new mods might jsut be taking your pc over the limit after 2hrs.

yes the core voltage has been 1.51 for quite a while now.In everything not just tf.although the mobo runs at 32-38,which i know is fine.these settings you are talking about I will have to check with my son on. He plays tf and has downloaded game and patches.This game has sure had it's share of freeze-ups though.No probs noticed with other games.But tf gets played the hardest and longest timewise. paun----------
