But i also recommend the usual procedure:

- reinstall video drivers and the game, maybe even winblows

If it was a slow process of "getting worse" its likely a software issue, i.e. an unattended XP with lots of crap piled up over the time...

Id love a screenshot of your black textures, also you can prevent your PC from rebooting itself -
it should get stuck at the bluescreen then, giving you opportunity to read the actual error message.

Some info on your specs *could* be helpful

Of course i take it for granted that your next post wont be something like
"btw i tried to OC my videocard and CPU, could that be the problem?"

I belive i have a faulty driver or some thing simular to it, I often get alot of Black Textures while playing First Strike which normally results in lag followed by a crash to desktop.

Latly ive had some more problems which totaly stop me from being able to play First Strike.

The map and the mod loads up fine, once i click "Deploy" my computer just restarts it self. Not too sure whats up with it, since all my scans are coming back fine.

Just wondering if any one has experianced a simular thing and knows how to fix it?
