Disable multicore rendering : to do this just bring up the console command and type "mat_queue_mode 0" without the "", have fun. Dante2710No luck with this, yet. (4 attempts resulting in 4 freezes/crashes) Am currently installing latest graphics drivers, and will disable my firewall and AV (ZA and AVG) for the next. Really hope I don't have to reinstall windows, although it might be a good excuse to upgrade at last. :/ Thanks a lot guys :)
Hey all,
I would like some help.
Today I decided I fancied a Portal marathon, as I haven't played it in months and never got round to completing it etc.
But I can't get through 5 minutes without it freezing my computer, the screen going blank and the sounds looping. I have to hold the restart button for it to switch off, and it seems to be causing problems when booting also; when logging in the background shows for a while, with the icons loading eventually.
Despite it being a fresh install, I uninstalled Steam completely and tried again, installing most of the Orange Box.
And yet the problem persists, and the same thing happened when I attempted to play HL2. (I assume the rest of the games will do the same. I don't have/play many other games, but last time I tried BF2 it was fine, so (hopefully) it's just Valve games playing up.)
Any ideas what's going on/how I can fix it? I've already lost hours of fun!

Thanks in advance.
