Constant Crash early game

Shortly after I get the crowbar and see the zombie transformation scene, I head through the door and get the loading screen as expected. Then the game crashes. Attached are two separate crash reports.hl2_4104_crash_2012_9_15T17_47_9C0.mdmp (74.9 KB)

Please help. Have enjoyed the game so far. Also, unrelated, I am having some texture difficulties, probably related to having to run DirectX 8.1 on my hardware… Basically, almost everyone’s eyes are checkered purple and black and the radioactive waste is too. Any advice would be helpful.

Bumpity bump bump. I think I got lost in the day one confusion…

Still experiencing this issue, shortly after getting the crowbar in Unforeseen Consequences is a loading screen where my game crashes. Please help.
