why do gases solidify at absolute zero

Clearly this is true for high temperatures and low pressures as the temperature falls the gascontracts (at constant pressure) and eventually the interaction energy of the molecules gets close to the energy levels that allow the gas to liquefy and/orsolidify and the properties willbecome more non linear as

By Charles'Law we know that,
v=v0+(t/273)*v0
Therefore, at 0K (lowering from 273K) the volume of the gas in question, i.e. the ideal gas, will be 0
People say that the volume does not go 0. Thus it violates the Charles' Law! Yet people say it hold at all temperatures, and say(at least my teacher does) that there can be theoretically negative volume also!
But i want to know what exactly are the changes that happen when the temperature of such low degree, and if we should put a limit to the validness of this law.
Thank you!
And may it freeze! I am melting here! 313K here at this moment....
