It's not freezing and hanging your computer, per se. The freezing is just
hl2.exe(or in your case, hl.exe). The OS is running otherwise normally, you
just need to SSH in and pkill -CONT hl.exe and it will continue. hl.exe, like
other games, captures mouse and keyboard(leaving it impossible to do anything
when it hangs) so SSH is a must here.
