Portal 2 is not working please help, blue screen shows up

[Donatella Versace]

I just bought Portal 2 and whenever I start it, it shows the Valve logos and everything, then theres Chell and GLaDOS loading screen and then a blue screen, then it restarts my laptop. I downloaded it on my laptop, not a PC. Please help! What should I do?

Save up some money and get a PC.

That's all I can think of.

Very encouraging in fixing the problem for a lAPTOP!

Hmm, funny it runs fine on my laptop. I need your PC specs to evaluate the problem your having.

My desktop pc is having this problem as well

And it's a very good computer, 6 core, 32 gb RAM, my friend helped me put it together.

Its a toshiba laptop,-Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU-t4400 @2.20GHz 2.19 GHz, 2,83 GB RAM. I think it does this bc it gave me a warning that my software did not pass the genuine microsoft software validation, that I'm a victim of software counterfeiting.

I found a way. Thank you for taking your time to help me. I appretiate it. Thank you.
King Irwin I think you should update your BIOS, I have searched and I have seen it is the most common and biggest problem for everyone who has this kind of problem. My laptop is doomed and cannot upgrade the BIOS ERGO I cannot play Portal. I have found a solution. As said before, thank you for all of your time.
