OK, for an update. TF2 did sound loop lockup again. However the HDDs did not click. I let it loop for 20 seconds, and it go nowhere, so I just CTRL + ALT + DEL and told it to end the HL2.exe process, which was at a whopping 1.3GB in size. Don't know if that's normal or not, just sounds like a LOT of memory to be held up for a game.
I'm not sure how to make a dump of a process that is locked or if its possible or even helpful, but if someone lets me know, I'll try to make a dump files when it next locks up and see if it's the same error or different. This lockup did not result in constant HDD clicks or a forced hard shutdown like the original thread states.
