Like many of you I was experiencing reboots when loading HL2. After several hours of screwing around, I finally had a reboot-free experience (2 hours + gameplay so far).

This switch in the launch option dialog worked:

-width 800 -height 600 -dxlevel 90 -heapsize 256000

I also had to adjust my video options (in HL2), using medium for most options. This removed the stutter that I was experiencing (my other problem).

FYI I had no luck until I used the -heapsize 256000 setting. That was the real critical setting. I set it to 1/2 my actual RAM.

Hope this helps.
 
You know your going to crash after telling everyone this :P

Gotta touch wood.
 
I used that code and it seemed to be working. Then when I started loading Chapter 1 it rebooted when the load bar was at 100%. I'm hoping Valve gives us some kind of fix for this soon instead of their educated guesses on those endless FAQ lists.
