Half Life 2 on Laptop skips

[smileyforall220]

Hi I just started playing Half Life 2 and Counter Strike Source again but now there is a problem. When I play the game every 3 seconds the game skips making it nearly unplayable. These are my specs:

Nvidia Geforce 6800 go 256 mb
1.76 pentium M( equivalent to a 3.2 ghz pentium 4)
1 Gb ram

The recomended settings for my computer was everything on high inluding HDR and 1440x900 resolution. I even tried putting the settings to low but it still skips!!
