Sorry if this is old news, but for all those who crash after the load screen, I have a fix that worked for me.

right click on properties, add...

-dxlevel 70

...to your desktop shortcut to half life 2. That defaults directx to v7, instead of v9. Apparently a lot of the crash problems have to do with some new direct x features that other games don't use.

Whoo! I can play now!

Hope this helps other people play too :)
