Try adding in your launch options:
-dxlevel 80
to drop the dxlevel down and see if it helps.

Right click on CounterStrike: Source in the Games part of Steam.
Click on Properties....
Click on Set Launch Options
In there add:
-novid -dxlevel 80
and click OK.
This drops the DX level to 8.0.
You could try other options as well such as
-novid -dxlevel 81
whcih sets DX level to 8.1
-novid -dxlevel 90 -width 1024 -height 768
which raises the DX level to 9.0 with a screen width of 1024 and height 768.
Play around with various settings until it is stable.
BTW, -novid turns off the video when you start up the game.
DX9 has better quality of graphics compared to DX8 or DX8.1
What is your graphics card?
