Counter-Strike: Source Crashing (Native)

Hi,

I've been an Arch user for quite a while - though I've not registered here on the forums until today.  Lately I've been testing Steam for Linux including games like Amnesia, Killing Floor, etc.  The last couple of days I've been playing Counter-Strike: Source too, though I've been encountering problems.  After about 5-10 minutes of playing, the game freezes - locking up my entire system in the process.  This happens every time I run the game.

I've tried changing __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS to 0, as per ArchWiki recommendation, to no effect whatsoever.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  If so has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I had some issues of CS:S randomly crashing after few minutes ingame. Disabling Multicore Rendering fixed the issue. I was on GT630M using bumblebee.
But this isn't probably your issue, this is probably about your graphics drivers (ATI ? ).

I have the same graphics card as ypu (AMD Radeon HD 7770) and I am also experiencing this problem. Do you get any debug output?
