Do a chdsk or check disk for errors on the hard drive.

try updating your video drivers. What video card are you currently using?

Assuming your using Windows...
Go to My Computer
Right Click on the hard drive
Go to Properties
Go to the Tab "Tools"
Under Section "Error Checking"
Check Now

Stop playing CS.

actually I think your video card is way under what you would need. Consider upgrading to a higher end card.

The 6600GT is a good card and cheap now. I'd reccomend it.

I had similar problems a week ago.
I had a Nvidia 6800 128 MB.
Once I launch any game, the screen would freeze but I still hear the game audio. Tried re-installing drivers, checking the hardware, etc.
After I replaced it, everything was fine.

I suggest replacing the video card. Go on newegg.com and find some decent video card. Like Keagle said, 6600 GT is good. Don't go for anything lower.

I stopped gaming so much so I bought a cheap 6200 for replacement and it's a horrible piece of junk.
