a good start would be to tell us your system specifications like what operating system, processor, ram and especially the video card.

when posting for help like this, this info is always a must else no one can help you at all, no one but yourself know what your system is like and what it has, if you don't know you beter find out as playing games on a computer isn't like a console where you just put in a disc and you run it.

This happened to me too with a GeForce 9600 under Windows XP SP3, when I tried to enable HDR.

Neither HDR nor Bloom are recommendable at the moment, their shader definition files are probably missing anyway. Disable them in PSLaunch.

I get the same problem but only when I have HDR enabled. It plays fine with it off or even with bloom enabled (but I don't like bloom, makes it look too blurry and less crisp).
Geforce 9800GT, Win7 64bit, 8GB ram.. yeah

When it happens after going through portals and between maps, try F11/F12 to reset brightness. When it happens in specific areas and this doesn't help, make sure that you don't have shaders set to Low. In that case, use other setting as Low is not working properly in some areas, but all other options do.
