I was playing HL2, everything was going fine then suddenly it lagged and the blue screen showed up and my laptop restarted, and now every time I enter the game it shows me the menu like this and the blue screen shows up again.

But the last time i entered the game i clicked on alt tab, then clicked on hl2 (in the bar next to the start), for a second the menu was fine and i was able to click on load or new or options but it didn't last long, the menu lagged again and the blue screen showed up again.

So plz you have any idea how to fix this ? I really wanna play this game.

Probably better off in the Hardware forum dude. It's also a good idea when you have a problem to list your specs, CPU, RAM, GPU etc. However since you're playing on a laptop I'm just gonna guess overheating is your problem.

Try running the game in windowed mode. Go into steam, click properties, set launch options and type, -windowed This should start the game in windowed mode, if it works you can adjust your settings from there.

Right click Half life 2 on steam, properties, launch options then add these

-autoconfig -window

if the game works fine you should remove them when next time you start the game

The blue screen your getting is from a display driver error, What OS are you using? and also try updating your GPU drivers.

Yea, it looks like you have a nVidia based card. Update the driver.

That BSOD is caused by an nVidia driver error. What most likely happened is that you upgraded the driver but didn't completely uninstall the old driver. The file listed in the BSOD is from your old version which was supposed to get overwritten during install but didn't, resulting in a crash every time your driver tries to access that file. The solution is to completely uninstall your current display driver (this means uninstalling it and then going into safe mode and running driver sweeper to clean up anything that got left behind) and then installing the latest version and trying again.
