Garry's Mod

Garry's Mod

Garry's mod closes randomly without any errors.
Garry's mod seems to be closing for no reason, no "Hl2.exe has stopped working" or any sort of engine Errors, it just Closes instantly. Mostly it does it after i am done DLing something from the Workshop. Usually after 1 to... 5 DLs and it shuts down. I have tried many different things to fix it, Googling for help, Defragging the game files/cache, Verifying the integrity of the Game Cache, Re-installing.... nothing works. And it seems like Steam closes too for no reason when Garry's mod does it. It only does it for GMOD too. Nothing else.My specs are:

OS: Windows XP SP3 32-bit
CPU: Pentium 4 running at 2.0 GHz
GFX: NVIDIA GeForce 6200 W/ 512MB of VRAM
RAM: 2 gigs running at 133MHz

As you can see, i may not have a Powerful computer, but it runs GMOD decently... Most of the time. But the GM12 Update NEVER had this problem for me.
So, could anyone help me out here and Share a possible fix?
Thank you for taking the time to Read this.

EDIT: I got a new computer, after which it rarely occurs. it still happens. i will give the updated PC specs now.

OS: Win 7 Ultimate x64
CPU: AMD FX-6100 Zambezi 6 core processor running @3.30 GHz
GPX : Radeon HD 7770 1 GB of Vram
RAM: 8 Gigs running @1666 MHz

Same problem here, never happened to me in GM12 or GM13 Beta either. But now It makes Garrys Mod unplayable. I didn't find any solution for this so far.

Yeah... This bug pisses me off.... Almost makes me want to somehow DownGrade to GM12 if i cannot fix it... Somehow i think this may be more of a Steam thing than GMOD....

Same to me. GMod 13 worked fine before I upgraded my graphics from 6970 -> 7970. This only happens in GMod

And yes, I did wipe the old drivers and install the new ones.
Seems the issue I was getting was due to a slightly misconfigured server I was playing on causing gmod to crash,

Could be it. After all, I have only tried to join a WIP spacebuild server.

Same problem. I got an idea for a screenshot, I got the ragdolls set up and spawned the weapons, and it crashed. -_- this is a punch to the face. *punchface*

Exact same problem, and similar PC. Seems to always happen after 45mins-2hrs of playtime on Gmod. I hate it! Bumpitybumpitybump this needs to be solved!

I get this, too. Even with a new laptop. There's no special case for when it happens, it's just random.
