Run task manager and see if the game is still running after you exit it.
Try restarting your system if you havent.

Oh, and welcome to Anandtech.
Stay the fuck out of P&N.

Can you even play TF2 with those specs?

I've done that stuff....... TF2 is just not responding when that happens....and portal opens, I've tried ending Task with HL2. But it reopens when Portal opens.

Yes, it runs fine but Portal keeps popping out every time I finish a round, or when it's in a loading screen.

Now, something strange happened, I forgot to mention that is not an Appcrash, is BEX, what does it mean? Then I let Portal sit there, and it gave me that D3D device Steam error, Got any Ideas?

Couple of things here:

A single core pentium 4 is outdated for tf2. To get the best performance out of tf2, your going to need at least a dual core system and at least 2 gigs of memory.

1 gig of memory is really outdated.

Scan for system for malware. Go to download.com, find, download, install, update, and do a full system scan with malware bytes.

Do you have an anti-virus installed and updated?

Have you ran your system through windows updates and made sure the system is up-to-date on its security patches?

 

[Bill Brasky]

Have you verified you game files for both Portal 2 and TF2?

What kind of anti-virus program do you have?

Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Its the green button on the left side of the screen that says "download now" next to it.

All files at download.com have been tested to make sure they are virus free.

Malwarebytes is not an anti-virus program, it looks for malicious software.

No, I mean verify the integrity of the game files of both Portal 2 *and* Team Fortress 2.

It worked , Portal didn't open!But it still crashes, I think is because i took off the novid level 80 thing. But how can i prevent this BEX thing?
