I have times where I am playing TF2 and I randomly freeze up, and I can't alt tab or anything, my computer is totally frozen. Here are my specs.
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1 Build 2600)
System Manufacturer: VIA Technologies, Inc.
System Model: KT400-8235
BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.0GHz
Memory: 1024MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce3 Ti 500
It sucks but I want to see if I can stop the crashing.
Would I need more RAM?
I think more specs would be appreciated.
Edited.
By the way, this does not happen in singleplayer source games, such as HL2.

It actually does.

You want me to post the temperature of my computer when I load TF2 and join a server and idle?
No. Post a temp of you just sitting at your computer doing nothing. Then load up Tf2 for 10 mins then post that temp.
Got it.
Without TF2 up:
TMPIN0 34°C (93°F)
TMPIN1 47°C (116°F)
TMPIN2 72°C (161°F)

Whoever rated this funny, I mean it. My computer sucks.
Is that Graphics card even capable of loading Pictures =P
But seriously, does it meet the minimum requirements for the game?
I am not sure. I just checked and I don't know how to check which DirectX Version it uses, but I can run the game OK. It might be like DX7 because if I look at the water in the game its all white. :P My freezing problem might be caused by heating problems, because I ran the game last night in about 50°F room temperature, and didn't crash. But I am still not sure why I keep crashing.
Jesus fuck.. GeForce 3.. That's from like, 99'...
You need a new computer. Simple as that.
Give up on your shit. Throw it out.

My laptop has better specs...

Well maybe not but come on you can't play tf2 on a card from 99' there is no way that thing is dx9 hardware.
Honestly I have a gaming computer that I am allowed to use sometimes, but I just wanted to get this one running okay, but if I can't, it doesn't matter too much.
