Your built-in video card is not high-end enough for the game. GPUs perform better than integrated ones.

Your built-in video card is not high-end enough for the game. DISCRETE GPUs perform better than integrated ones.

...and from what I personally seen, HL2 uses a lot of cpu... Higher cpu usage equals more heat.
