Vista and CSS And HL2...

OK first of heres my specs:
Vista Home Premium
Intel Duo Core Processor 1.60 ghz
250 SATA Hard Drive
950 Intel INtergrated Graphics
1 GB DD2R Ram

o and btw i havent installed any new drivers cause first dont know how 2 and second im scared i might download the wrong one and then vista will crash....ok now to the problem..

I just bought Counter Strike Source from steam and whenever i tried to open it my screen turned black and shut down....i am really lost and dont know what to do help?

Well, it just so happens I purchased CS:S about a week ago and still have the box to look at the spec's on.

now, your processor is fine, hard drive is fine, your RAM is fine, so as far as I can tell, the problem could be your Graphics, considering it is an integrated graphics card the only thing I can recommend you do is try to update the latest drivers and restart your pc.

As you have these integrated graphics from Intel I suspect the driver update will not help.

In future please try to avoid Intel graphics cards because Intel may be one of the leaders in Processor technology doesn't mean they are the best at everything, and graphics is there weak point.

If I do find more information about this I will post here and help.

In future if you plan to buy a game from anywhere try going on www.nzone.com or http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest and choosing your game to see if you can run the game.


I hope I have helped you.
