Easy fix for me. Locate your Steamapps folder and open it. For me the path was C>Program Files>Steam>Steamapps.

Open this folder. Double Click on the folder that is named as your Steam login. Delete the folder within for the application that is causing the error. For me I had to delete my "Insurgency" folder. I had other mods such as Day of Defeat & Team Fortress 2 that had their own folders but since I did not have any problems with those I just deleted the the Insurgency folder. Restarted the app after deleting the folder and no problems. Restarting the app recreated the Insurgency folder with a fresh hl2.exe in it and I think that is how the problem was resolved.

ONLINE AND MY FREINDS CAN JOIN FINE,BUT WHEN I ADD A ZOMBIE MAPIT LOADS

it would sometimes crash after playing for a few minutes now it crashes
before it opens.

I actually just set it as an exception in the DEP for steam which might
have helped, still need to test it though.

But here is how you can try the same.

Control Panel > System And Maintenance > System > Advanced System
Settings > On the Advanced tab go to setting under Performance then
Data Execution Prevention.

You can either try setting it to "Turn on DEP for essential windows
programs and services only"

Or try turning DEP on for all programs and add Steam as an exception.

I haven't tested if it's fully worked yet, but Portal does open now.

I've Done that and my G-Mod still won't work -.-

I'm using Vista 64 myself, and I got the same HL2.exe stopped working a
few times. I might also add that I just downloaded Portal today. HL2
is the Half Life 2 engine for portal, and it's in your portal folder. I
just created an exception for it and now it works fine.
