Hey there,
Your answer is within the first couple of lines. Your system does not reach the minimum requirements for the game, your graphics card need to have Shaders 3.0 and 256mb of dedicated RAM. The reason it is crashing is because it is trying to load all the models on your CPU causing a crash.
Check this link, click the 'Can i run it' button, it will ask to use java which is fine. See how it compares.

You need to purchase a dedicated graphics card to solve this issue...
This really does not contribute to the forums, it is actually considered a lack of etiquette in some areas, so be careful.
I hope this post helps you!
Pixel Shader version 3.0 4.0
Vertex Shader version 3.0 4.0
Dedicated Video RAM 256 MB 128 MB
So I guess only the dedicated video ram needs to be updated? ok.
but i have some games that needs 256MB and it runs normally but with lag.
Unfortunately, Valve seemed to have hardcoded requirements into their games, i used to have issues with TF2 on my chipset.
There is nothing else that can be done for it, The Dedicated VRam is determined by your BIOS, on which you can't change the actual values, and it will be slower because it will use your Physical RAM even if you could change it.
You might get away with playing in lower resolutions / lowest graphic settings, but even this may not help.
Honestly the only way to fully fix this is to buy a dedicated video card.
