hd 6950 GPU
1 tb hdd
6 gig of ddr 3 ram
850w coolermaster PSU

any help would be great,thanks all
 
A few things.

Have you updated your graphic card driver - it is the latest/newest available from AMD's website?

Do any other games freeze?

Is it always half an hour?

And do you know if your CPU/GPU is overheating?

See the problem is you have PO Gabe Newell the fix to this problem is to play Half Life 1 for no less than 50hrs to make things right again.

Check the ram and test it for 100% compatibility and or check the PSU as well.
