Well, actually, it does have a graphics card. It may not be top-of-the-line, but all computers have to have some type of graphics card. If the game runs well then there should not be any damage caused to your computer. I've run some pretty crazy programs on old computers, and they didn't have any problems.
Reply:I don't think Half Life 2 has a software renderer.


And no PC nowadays comes without a graphics proccessor you probably have integrated graphics (the chip is ussually in the northbridge of the motherboard covered with a heatsink)


Half life 2 are you using DX7 mode?


It will not damage it as CPU's can't die of overuse (only by voltmodding will you fry it)
Reply:OK, first of all, if you do not have a graphics card, your monitor would have nothing to plug on into. Which means THERE IS a video card in your computer. Mostly likely it's an integrated video card.





As for damaging the PC, nope, integrated video cards are made for ordinary users who do not care about the fastest gaming performance. You can continue to use it if you're satisfied with it's performance.
Reply:Heh, no.





Your hardware is specifically made to only go to certain extents. It will never go past what it's supposed to, unless you overclock it. Thus, no possible damage.. except heat damage.. and this is unlikely.
Reply:half life. what made to run on almost any system. try it.
Reply:Huh?? Damage?





Can't be! At most just over-heat your processor!
