I recently purchased Half Life 2 GOY edition (cd set), I went home went through the install and tried to launch the game. The valve splash screen appeared then a pixelated loading screen, once the main menu tried to load my computer instantly rebooted.

Here is my system specs:
AMD Athlon XP (2083mhz)
asus a7v600-x (huge POS)
1024 mb DDR
nvidia geforce 6200 256mb
xp pro sp2


Here is what I have done to try to correct the problem.

Installed lastest BETA drivers for my video card (recommended by STEAM)
Installed directx 9c
Downloaded latest BIOS
bought a new video card on ebay (radeon 9250 8x agp)

I'm pretty sure this is a problem with my video card, becuase I have read that tehre are alot of issues with nvidia cards and Half Life 2.

Half Life 1 source runs perfect.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
