Had the same constant crashing problem, then I noticed they were similar to crashes when u try to play older games, like Silent Hill 2, on a dual core.
To fix this:
1. Start Left 4 dead
2. Press ctrl+shift+del
3. Right click on the left 4 dead app to find the left 4 dead process
4. Right click on the left 4 dead process to change it's cpu affinity
5. Make shure only one cpu is selected
6. Play the game (framerate might drop with just one core, when game AI gets crowded)
It could be Valve left this glitch in the game on purpose, since legal steamed versions of the game get automatic updates.
