Black Texture Issue

I have been playing DoD:Source and some other source games, and most of the time the text is corrupt in the HUD or some textures are all black. It happens at random and occasionally the game will also crash or my PC will restart. I have updated and rolled-back my graphics drivers and I have updated directX but it doesn't help.

My specs:

OS: XP Home

Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU 3GHz (2CPUs)

Memory: 1020MB RAM

DirectX 9.0c

ATI Radeon X1600/1650 Series 512MB DDR2

HELP!

Have you checked your temperatures?RK-Mara

This is a good start. Something overheating would cause hangs/corruption/system restarts.

Sorry for the late response, I havent checked this in a while.

I had problems with overheating before, (fried my old graphics card:cry:) but I dont know how to check the temperature...
