tf2 crashing while connecting

Hello.
I have a MAJOR problem with TF2. When I start TF2 up, and connect to any server through server browser, console, or just even connecting to it through my web browser (connect to a lobby on tf2center/pickup) it loads and everything is fine, up until the VERY LAST bar in sending client info... then hl2 crashes. IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON BUT IM SO FED UP. When i restart my pc and open tf2 again it seems to fix it so idk why..

I have had no changes for a month, except making no smoke visible and rocket launcher explosion and some other weps (pretty much this thread but i don't see anyone having my problem there). Also they are working fine for me. I'v tried verifying my tf2 game chache, but it didn't seem to do much either..

Validate game files? Verify Cache? Try another HUD see if that is causing it? Change the settings back you changed see if it happens? Pray to Cthulu? Re-install TF2?

OK i just noticed something. When I start up TF2 it loads up shows everything for 1 secondm then the screen is black for like 3 secs and then goes back to the main menu. also it tells me these 2 things in console:

Rebinding key f to new command +inspect.
Changing resolutions from (1366, 768) -> (1366, 768)
Unable to remove c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\team fortress 2\tf\textwindow_temp.html!

1st of all, why is it changing it if it is the same, where can I delete the second one, so it doesnt change it.
2nd that file that it says it can't remove doesn't even exist, there is no such file in that path..

To be honest with you, I don't know if it was saying this before, because I never messed with it, but now that I am having problems I noticed it.

i had a similar issue that was solved by not touching a single thing on my keyboard while tf2 was opening (in the short run - this worked for that instance of the game) and by using -autoconfig and reinstalling my graphic config (this worked in the long run, fine from then on)

I dont even touch anything, i just join a server and go get myself a drink, i come back to this. I was using chris's maxframes a year ago then i switched to comanglias toaster and potato (best fps) gfx. i used it all the time on dx 8.1, and it worked fine for a year. nothing was changed but those particle effects as i said, which in no way can entirly crash the game...i think

autoconfig wouldnt help me because i am running a custom cfg the RIGHT WAY. i don't have my cfg in the actual cfg file. i kept that the stock config, i put my custom cfg with the gfx in custom folder.

OK uodate:

This also started happening when i did join a server without crashing near the end.
I joined this pub for instance, but it happened on a lot of servers, i join and i just freeze there, i get to choose my team, and class, but it doesnt even change pov to mine, it stays on the map spectator (but i can still access menu, tf2 isnt frozen just my movement.
looks like this: http://imgur.com/17IF77m

I leave it for like 2 mins, frozen like a did, then it works, it is just really wierd, this never happens until recently.

I tried dxlevels 80, 81(my old one), and 90, so it cant be a problem with that..
