Well if you had any ****ing brain cells. You should to check google. AND if it goes black it's a visual problem. So check your graphics cards. You do know what one is don't you.

oh yeah i know what one is. my video card is more then capable of running cs. both me and my roomate are confused on why it wont work. we even tried running it on low res. nobody seems to know what the problem is. sorry for the hostility before but cmon when somebody has a problem with a laptop and someone says use a computer instead, thats kinda stupid

Let's keep it friendly please, we are all here to help. I understand that you are a bit angry at the problem, but don't put your anger towards other users. Thank you for your understanding.

That said: have you tried with other steam-related games before? Do you have problems running other video games? What type of video card do you have?
