Whenever I get to the part where you're standing on the train (The very beginning) my monitor switches off!

should I re-install it? Any other ideas?

Got it working - borrowed an NVidia 5700 GFX card off a mate and now it works.

I don't have that problem, but yes, I would suggest you get yourself the latest drivers for your card. Seems the best bet, otherwise you could try and wait for the patch for the game and see if that does anything.

All this just to play a game - they better not do this for HL3!!!!

Check the Steam forum, unbelievable amount of people just not playing it until they fix it, me included.

Apparently it takes around 10 minutes to extract the audio files which the game runs on the fly. This looks like the cause if the problem. The first two hours were unbelievable, the game is awesome, the stuttering is a joke though.

Hopefully they will fix it this week.

I've had issues as well. I have to say, I'm very disappointed in the release quality. A brilliant game is being tarnished by this.
