Try running with no addons by adding -noworkshop -noaddons as parameters for the game. HowTo[wiki.garrysmod.com]
This will run the game as vanilla.

If that works, its an addon issue.

If not:
Backup any of the demos / saves / screenshots / videos / dupes (download(s)) folders that you want to save at Path/To/Steam/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/. Copy them to your desktop or wherever.

Uninstall Garry's Mod.
Delete the GarrysMod folder in Path/To/Steam/steamapps/common/ if it is not already deleted.
Reinstall Garry's Mod
Run the game to start with -noworkshop -noaddons.
If that works, take out the arguements and add the backed up files back to the garrysmod folder.
If not, I would suggest a reinstallation of Windows (Have you recently changed the GPU? If so, what from?).

Open up NVidia control panel, check your resolution. I can guarentee it will work. Make sure you're on the correct resolution.

Omg you saviour, I have been having this issue for literally 3 months, I have checked all the websites, sent my PC in for repairs (for another issue as well), I have reinstalled drivers like 4 or 5 times, I was even tempted to go into bios.
Thought it was a deep routed PC issue but nope just wanted to be in windowed...
