probs with cs,other steam games

K the game runs fine but when I go to minimize it to turn off music or whatever it wont restore. when i bring it back up I can hear the sound but the screen is just black so I have to close it and reopen the game. also when I am doing this i hear a constant very quit beep which also happens when I am using my mousewheel (the last part is prob some setting I have that I dont know about).

I was having this problem before and changing it to d3d fixed it but this time it was in d3d...... I doubt it is hardware related cause my video card is a week old and my ram is a month old. all my other games work fine.
