Radeon HD 5730, steam and modder.

Hi Everyone, Im new here

Yesterday I bought this laptop Asus N61ja i5 430M, Mobility radeon HD 5730 1gb (Win7 64bit). I was happy untill I noticed that I was not able to play games such as L4D2 and counter strike source (steam games). When Im launching the game I get warning from steam telling me that the graphic card is not on steams database and the game may not be playable. I hit the continue button and the game starts. But when Im actually going to play the screen freeze and I have to ctrl+alt+del to end it, sometimes I have to force to shut down the pc.

I really need help on this, this is my first Radeon laptop.
Here is som driver versions:
Driver ver: 8.692.1-100122a-094995C
Catalyst version: 10.4
Direct 3D ver: 8.14.10.0723.

I suppose I have the newest drivers but however Im not able to play steam games. I have also used steam forums but without luck.
I tried the modder but I think I was unable to do it right.

So I need help on this guys, I appreciate if anyone could tell me in details how to modd etc. Im totally new on this.

Thanks in advance, looking forward for some helpfull answers.
