hl2.exe problem

[Dabears]

I just got a new computer and I am unable to run CounterStrike Source. I continually get and error message saying the hl2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. The Error signature is this:
AppName: hl2.exe
AppVer: 0.0.0.0
ModName: Shaderapidx9.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset 0002e59a

Here are my System Specs:

I have not tried to run other games. Also I have my Video Drivers and motherboard fully updated. Yet after I click to play Source it always says that my video Drivers are out of date that I am running on
Nvidia Ge-Force 7600 GS
version 6.14.10.9424

I have emailed eVGA and they told me to reformat my computer. I wish to try every other option before I do that.

Use older drivers for your eVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS. Use 93.71.

Just tried to use 93.71 and i'm still getting the error message

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game?

Wmi

I have just looked some more at the steam FAQ and they have a shaderapidx.dll section. I just followed all the directions on the site. I have found out I have something wrong in my WMI. Now I am very lost on how to correct this error. I have uploaded the Report I got from WMIDiag. Thanks for your help.

It's a windows xp memory conflict issue. Here's how to fix it.

Go into Steam, than into my games. Right click on which ever game your trying to play i.e. Counter Strike, Day of Defeat, and click on properties. Click on Set Launch Options than paste this into the empty box.

+mat_forcehardwaresync 0 +snd_async_prefetch_priority 1

This works for all HL, and HL2 mods.

Hope this helps guys!
