Really? 
Let me do some more research and see if I can't figure something out. I do know that there's problems with steam and cs:s

pre 1.5 Steam the game was pretty well made, Then they invented the engine and look where it is now
haha, I'm almost thinking an entire reinstall of everything might be necessary as it seems that everything you Have toss at him hasn't work, However that's just an outsider opinion, And well, reinstalling Windows for 1 game is kind of a PITAI wanted to say maybe its an issue with ATI and CSS itself, But I dunno, I know that CS and DoD and all that arne't really built around either vid card GPU but I know that the heavily favored one is Nvidia, however an issue like this , Boggles me...

your FINAL option, Not your next but your FINAL option is to completely wipe yoru drive and start clean, I say this is the final one in all caps because you don't want to do it too soon, and it'll cause you to lose everything, and the reason I suggest donig this is since steve has tried pretty much almost everything, It'll rule out any glitches in windows that are causing it or glitches in the drive, Id wait to see what he can come up with, and then go from there though,
You could try a repair of windows from the disc, but I doubt that'll fix anything

This is a problem that a lot of people have had, and that I can't find any solid fixes for. Since I'm only researching things on the internet, and don't have this game/problem myself, my hands are somewhat tied.
Let me try to check a few more things and ask some other guru's around the forums if they know anything about this.....

if its not windows related and you do a full clean each time you have formatted then its probably GPU related or ATI related in its origins, That's beyond me though, gotta be something they put in their drivers that causes this *shrug*

When you reformatted your computer, did you actually wipe the drive using a program that removes (over-writes) everything on the drive, then reinstall the OS? If not, it could leave behind malware and other "baddies" that can wreak havoc on a computer.
You can try this, as it may (*MAY*) solve your problem: Download the omega drivers (most recent) from HERE. Now, uninstall the catalyst drivers that you have installed now. Restart your computer, and install the Omega drivers that you just downloaded. Restart your computer again, and try your game. Keep your fingers crossed!

Does it crash when you're only playing this game? Does it crash when you're playing other games too? Does it crash when you're just browsing the internet or using other (not games though) programs?

The omega drivers weren't a guaranteed fix....although I was hoping they would fix this issue.
Either way, forth and onward!
I'll do some more research and then get back to you. Keep patient, as this is frustrating me almost as much as it's frustrating you!

Does it crash at any other time? Any other time at all, besides when you're playing this game?
