They don't specifically say that any Half Life issues have been resolved but it's worth a try installing these drivers.

Let me know if it solves the 10 second black screen upon leaving the game... I really hate that.

Sounds like the refresh rate frequencies are slightly different in this new driver. Just resize the screen using your monitor's controls.
