tf2 crashes!

I come to you ladies today, because I have a bit of a trouble!
I got my new computer a few days back, and I was playing around with the multicore settings. Turns out, if I turn multicore settings on, it would run a bit better than with them off.
So I went all the way and did my research! I found a few topics that told me to add these lines on my config:

I see your first problem,

mat_queue_mode "2"

Depending on your type of videocard, having that set to 2 will crash your game. If you have a card which is lower than a 9800 GT, you should change that "2" to a "0"
Now you have said in the past that your FPS " Frames Per Second " is 9, said that, your videocard cannot support ( mat_queue_mode "2" )
I'd recommend that you change that to "0"

mat_queue_mode "0"

You should be fine now.

These are hidden codes for multicore systems.

Bones, I have a new computer. While it's true it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card, this integrated thing hold it's own @ 1280x720.

I just came to accept that tf2 won't stop crashing on me until I get a graphics card. (Then again, I don't know how people do to play Source games smoothly on Intel graphics... Just one of those things that won't work for me I guess Dry

)

Try looking in Program File/Steam/<steam user name>/team fortress 2/tf/cfg...

You're looking for config.cfg most likely...

However, I don't like messing around in there... Make a new file in that folder called autoexec.cfg and edit it with a text editor and add the commands there... Basically they're console commands that are run at the start of the game, I'm pretty sure that will work... if not then just make the changes to the config.cfg... make sure you back it up first...

The config file is located in your TF folder.
Hunter , you'll find everything there.
