hey i'm having a problem when i run my video strees test in counter strike. the panels in the beginning that rotate well instead of having those panels, they're replaced with big red letters sez(error) and they rotate i have not changed my system and a week ago it was fine???????????????? i have a bfg 5500 oc 256mb vid card thanx

try reinstalling drivers. Sorry, this is the only thing I can think of. AMD Athlon 64 S939 3000+ ASUS A8V Deluxe WE MoBo 512Mb DDR266 Dual Channel 20Gb + 80Gb ATA133 HDD Leadtek Geforce 6800 128Mb ThermalTake 360W PurePower PSU

dont worry about the stress test, if the video works fine in the game, then its fine. yea i know, it happens all the time, an A student may fail the test sometimes. P4 3.2GHZ kingstom 1GB DDR 3200 Nvidia geforce FX 5950 256mb

thanks guys i was gettin alil worried about it but yes it runs fine the only thing i can see a difference in is it hiccups for like the first 5 mins then its fine i dont know but anyhow thank you

I get the same red spinning error message as well, the only thing i think that resolves it is to wait till steam redownloads the stress test again. REinstalling drivers or the the whole games does not fix it I tried, I sent Steam a bug report and they said they are working on it. abit is7 i856pe Prescott 2.8ghz @ 4004Mhz 286x14 FSB @ 1144Mhz 512x2 in dual config @ 430mhz 9800 se unlocked & clocked @ 444mhz/800mhz

i sent them a bug report to, they never go back to me.i reinstalled the game a few times and installed drivers and i know your right it dont work.but im glad to see im the only one that dont have that problem thought i was a weird case. thanks again

I read on another forum that they have removed the spinning panels from the stress test, hence why everyone(me included) is now seeing the spinning errors. Dont worry about it.
