Source engine games freezing
So basically, when playing a source game, it randomly freezes but I can still hear the audio.

8gb ram
intel integrated 4600
i5 3.2ghz 4600

Note: all the games I am playing in windowed mode with no border.

Are you sure it only happens in Source -games and not in other games as well?

Can you right mouse click the game -> Properties -> Local Files -> <Verify Integrity of Game Cache> ?

  1. Install DirectX[www.microsoft.com]
  2. Install Visual C++ Redistributables[www.microsoft.com]
  3. Update your GPU drivers.


    1. I accept the terms in the license agreement

    2. Run and install

I already had that installed, and I don't have any of those antiviruses installed. And yes, it's only in source games, and I have verifired my cache.

have you tried running without the border-less window? just a normal window?
