It's probably just unsupported on Windows 8. Or you pirated a copy.
Yea i though of windows 8 too.
Have you tried to update your graphics card drivers ?

@DaRkOwNs I have the original copy. You can check my steam account and half life validity.

@Robiz Should there be any issues related to the drivers? Still I will update them soon.

Well, as far as i have heard, the windows 8 had some problems with games, maybe your driver provider has updated it.

I'd suggest dropping down to Windows 7 in general anyway. Don't get me wrong, Windows 8 is nice and all but 7 just seems to support everything a lot better currently.

Drop down to Windows 7, it's just, everything that Windows 8 doesn't need/try and fail at

Half-Life runs perfectly fine on Win 8 and 8.1 for me, so it's definitely not the OS.

I think you would probably get better help at steam support.
 
The very best there is.

Classified.
Your graphics driver is not installed. You're currently using Windows' default drivers.

That and to proove it here is the part from teh OP

Video Card:
Driver: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20)
Note the "Microsoft Corporation" in the driver. Meaning you are using Windows default drivers. So hurry and download the proper driver for your card.
