Update your graphics driver to the latest version, and run the DirectX updater on your install disc (or download one from Microsoft)

Try that and see if you get the same crashing.

Do as above, also I had problems with my anti-virus, would cause the game to crash, no idea why.

Is >this< what you mean by 'DirectX updater'? If not, then please can you post a link to the 'DirectX updater' you are talking about?

BlackOpsMP.exe has stopped working – Checklist

Tip: When you change anything, always remember to reboot. This might take some time, but a restart is often necessary!
1. Revalidate your files via Steam
2. Re-install Call of Duty Black Ops + Reboot
3. Upgrade DirectX
4. Check your Catalyst version . Is it 10.10? If not, update to the latest Catalyst version.
5. Check your NVIDIA driver version and update to the latest drivers version.
6. Still not working? You still get BlackOpsMP.exe has stopped working? Try to downgrade your graphic card drivers (after installing and trying the latest version of course), this seems to help in *some* cases.

We will try to find some other solution how to fix the BlackOpsMP.exe has stopped working error. If you already know a solution or if you also had this problem and fixed it, please let us know below.

Might help.

EDIT: and from comments on that link:

or you could go here: \Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty black ops\Redist\DirectX and run DXSETUP.exe

If I reinstall Black Ops, does that mean I will have to do the campaign again and start online from level 1 again?

EDIT: Also, I don't think I have 'Catalyst'. I'm not using an ATI gfx card.
