Garry's Mod Crashing My Computer. [Please help!]
My Garry's mod crashes my computer when playing in-game. Seems like it happens with certain addons (I don't actually have the addons, but the server I join automatically mounts it)
like M9K, if I equip any gun from that addon, my computer will crash, no DVI, fans high, power is on.
This started happening not to long ago.

Things I've tried:
  • Re-Rolling GPU Drivers [Version: 314.14]
  • Uninstalling Garry's Mod / Re installing / Deleting Garry's Mod Folder
  • I don't have ANY installed addons
  • Tried playing lowest settings on DX level -80
My comp also crashes randomly while in other game modes, like Prop-hunt.

I'm using Gyazo to take screen-shots of CPU-Z, showing information on my specs.

its not the hardware....its either the mods/addons or its something else you have on your computer.....maybe YOU need to get the addons to play on those servers. maybe servers issues not yours. and what do you mean crashes your computer? blue screen? game stop responding?

Well The server has an average of 35 players on, or more.. I don't know but, just when playing Garry's Mod on any server, even on Single Player, my screen will just go black, then the monitor will show "No DVI", As if I unplugged the DVI cord from the comp. and then the fans on the comp. are max... Like really-- loud.
Then, when I start the computer back up, it shows "Windows did not shutdown correctly".
Then.... the same routine happens again, if I play Garry's Mod.

I know it's not the GPU... Because I can play like.. BF3, Arma, other Source games, etc. for hours and doesn't crash my compuer.

Could not having Windows Service Pack 1 cause it?

I would not discount it. Why are you not updating the OS?

I have, but I have been getting these constant errors when trying to install them, i recently searched it, installed a hotfix, and now I have it. So far it hasn't crashed.. So far..

Ok, so I started playing again, and instantly crashed. So this is getting real old.. and this has been happening for over 2 months and I would really like some help :P

It's odd, sometimes when I play Garry's Mod it won't crash, then sometimes when i restart my comp. it does the next time I play it.

I would bet you need a BIOS update for your MotherBoard. I can't seem to find anything because of the way FoxxCon has there Model numbers and website set up.

The BIOS you are running is three years old and I'm just about positive they will have newer versions that had a lot of issues sorted.

I don't really know how to check for updates for the BIOS. :/

Sent a friend invite. I'll see if I can help and you can post a solution if found.

I still need help. Still having issues.

I am still having problems. I join a server, play for like 5 minutes, and then the game crashes.
