318900 2005-01-28 09:02:00 Hi all,

I've been having problems with Half Life 2. After an indeterminate length of time playing the game, it hangs, and sometimes crashes the computer altogether. I'm not sure how to resolve this problem - graphics drivers are up to date, as is the game itself. I've tried the settings on absolute minimum, and the problem still happens.

Is there anyway to tell if this is a graphics card problem, a memory problem, a hard drive problem, etc?

On a parallel note, is there any reliable means of testing whether the graphics card is defective? I've run aquamark, and got a score of approx 44,000, but how reliable is that as a test of the card's stability?

Specs are:

Athlon64 2800+
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
512MB DDR 400
GeCube Radeon 9800Pro 128MB
WD 160GB SATA

Cheers

Lizard

318901 2005-01-28 11:29:00 maybe it is the copy-protection ? I have heard it can cause intermittent problems - there is a fix on the Valve site KatiMike (242)

Its a problem with the a.i.
You have to make a .cfg file and put it in your hl2/cfg folder.
If you havent already fixed your problem, let me know and I can send you the file.
Happy hunting.
