what graphics card are u using ?
what version drviers ?
whats ur PSU rating ??


anyways this is mostly a driver issue ...
there are 2 solutions ..
1) if uve installed a new driver try a roll back
2) if not ... the simplest way to get rid of th eproblme is to install SP2 and the latest updates ..
give it a shot n lemme know

well try the following first

Download the latest drivers of your graphic card which i feel is onboard

latest chipset drivers

directx 9c if u havent installed it with the game

dun run any resource hungry application in background

hope this will do the trick
post in next

and hows the hl2 goin

Either your Graphics card or Driver has the problems. Try Updating them.
