Half-Life 2: Episode 2 Freezing Issues

CAGiversary!
I picked up the Orange Box over Thanksgiving when Best Buy was selling it for $25 and recently started playing Episode 2. However, I just got to the 5th chapter "Our Mutual Fiend" and about two minutes in, my game freezes.

I can still move around and all but the two of the NPCs freeze. Unfortunately one (or both) of them needs to activate a lift for me to continue but it freezes as he enters.

I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem or a similar one. If so is there anything to do about it. I started it back up from the AutoSave at the beginning of the chapter and it still does it so I'm not quite sure what to do now.
 
People have had problems with Source powered games ever since they introduced HDR to it. Heck it took me a month to beat Episode 1, which should have taken me a week if it wasn't for the constant lock ups, studders, CoD's and reboots. For the orange box I took no risk and put it on XP Pro. Some studdering but no lock ups and reboots. Beat that game in a week.

Try installing it on another os if you have it.
 
"Glad" to hear other's experience consistent issues on Ep2. I am at a point in the mines where the game crashes at the same spot everytime (3 times now, not much motivation to keep trying)...
