Heyyo,
Well, sometimes it can be caused by overheating. My HL2 used to die all the time... then I opened my case and noticed only 1 side of my CPU heatsink & Fan clip was still in place... So check that to be sure, AMD cpu's tend to overheat if you don't have your heatsink/fan properly in place. :p
In general, the new patch is pretty ghey and seems to crash more than previous patches, so yeah, you might just have to deal with it.... The newest patch apparently fixes a multiplayer security exploit, but seems to be full of bugs, which's why the crashing tends to only occur in online games....
