Recently my pc broke down and i had to send my HDD to seagate.
So now im stuck with trying to play the half life episodes pack my laptop.
Acer 5920G
T7300 Core 2 duo (2.00 GHZ)
2gb
8600gt 256mb
Evry time the game crashes after loading the scene after you get launched by dog in the red car)
It crashes when you walk around the corner and you trigger the explosion.
Error message: Half Life 2 has stopped working.
Ive tried updating Direct x and Video card drivers and I have set all the settings to low.
The game always worked fine on my PC
E8600 Core 2 duo 3.2ghz
2GB ddr3
Ati4870 1GB
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Are you using any mods?

Nope

Are you using a trainer? That doesn't sound like crashes caused by temps.
No.
Just clean instal EP1 and 2 pack.
I googled it and it seems to be a common problem.
Havnt found a fix yet tough.
In the steam menu right click the game and create a desktop shortcut, right click the icon and go to properties then the shortcut tab. "F:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 380 -[Code here]
Common Launch Options
Most Console Commands can function as a launch option by adding a "+" in front of the console command, but many of them do not make sense to use in this fashion. The most common launch options are listed below.
* -autoconfig - Restores video and performance settings to default for the current hardware detected. Ignores settings inside any .cfg files until this parameter is removed.
* -dev - Enables developer mode. Also disables the automatic loading of menu background maps and stops the quit dialog from appearing on exit.
* -condebug - Logs all console output into the console.log text file.
* -console - Starts the game with the developer console enabled.
* -toconsole - Starts the engine directly in the console, unless a map is specified with +map.
* -dxlevel <level> - Forces a specific DirectX version when launching the engine. This is useful if your graphics card gets significantly better performance in an earlier version of DirectX (e.g. NVidia GeForce FX 5200). Options:
o -dxlevel 60
o -dxlevel 70
o -dxlevel 80
o -dxlevel 81
o -dxlevel 90
* -32bit - Forces the engine to start in 32-bit mode. Only useful on 64-bit Operating Systems. -64bit can also be explicitly stated for games that use the 64-bit Source engine, although it is the default.
Note: These launch options currently only apply to Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Lost Coast.
* -fullscreen - Forces the engine to start in fullscreen mode.
* -windowed or -sw - Forces the engine to start in windowed mode.
* -w <width> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <width>.
* -h <height> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <height>. This launch option does not need to be set in the presence of -w. The width value with determine the height automatically.
* -refresh <rate> - Force a specific refresh rate.
* -heapsize <kilobytes> - Specifies the heapsize (in kilobytes) which the game will use.
* -nocrashdialog - Suppresses some memory could not be read unhandled errors.
* -novid or -novideo - When loading a game with this parameter, the intro Valve video will not play.
* -lv Enables some low violence options in Left 4 Dead.
