When I want to play counter strike, i get a message saying that if i continue
there may be problems becuase my video drivers are out of date. So i have
been looking everywhere and finally found a forum where i can post my
problems. So after i press continue, the game loads like normal, i join any
server and after a short time 5 to 10 minutes out of the blue, my computer
shuts off. I tried to do the safe mode thing to update my driver but when i
get to the step where it says to click change, (after going to control panel,
display, settings, adapter) there isn't a CHANGE tab anywhere. So i gave up
on that, is there anything else that may be causing my problems or if someone
could tell me what else i can do instead trying to find the change tab...
Thanks
Ben

I don't think you can load the drivers while in "safe mode". Boot
normally, then update the driver.

Other than that, make sure that nothing is overheating (like dirty
fans, maybe).
