i had the odd crash with HL2, but HL2ep1 is unplayable at the mo, my pc is getting on a bit but meets the spec, it seems to lock up and the crash to desktop.

my system is

SN41G2 shuttle (win xp)
AMD 2500 (unlocked)
GT6600 (latest drivers)
1 gig of ram

Graphics drivers were the cause of my pc regularly hanging with HL engine games a bit before xmas.

Just a simple driver update worked for me, before i was crashing out of HL2 games after 2-3 minutes of play, also check your soundcard drivers are up to date.
