Press "Escape" key = crash - Help

When I press Esc key, the game crashes with error "The memory could not be read...". This happens only while in server and when console is opened. This is really annoying because I often need to use console while in server :(. Hope someone can help me. I know that OS matters in gmod for most of the problems, so mine: Windows XP Home Edition, SP2

[QUOTE=Cpt.Lavender;31446148]Dude, your system specs please.[/QUOTE] Everyone wants he's specs.

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.00GHz GFX: MSI Radeon 9550, 256mb RAM: 1GB DDR OS: Windows XP Home Edition, SP2 I wonder how are system specs important? Sorry it took me time because i don't visit this forum that often :(. E: Yesterday i changed my -dxlevel 80 to 81 and now i can open console while in-server.. though i had done that before, funny >.> E2: Lol, it's just that if server has many people, the console crashes me but if like less than 10 people, i can open console. PLEASE HELP, i can't play without using console :(.

Just rename the garrysmod folder in your account folder, run garry's mod. See if it continues.

Well, i don't know about graphics driver, but the game crashes with "The memory could not be read.." error.

So no-one out there who can help?

[QUOTE=sHell.w;31487386]So no-one out there who can help?[/QUOTE] Hey ..?

Omg so anybody in this entire forum can't help me and i'm the only sad one having this problem?

Chill bro, this forum's slow. If you feel like you aren't getting any help try posting in [url=http://www.facepunch.com/forums/107-Technical-Support]Technical Support[/url] or if that doesn't help or [url=http://www.facepunch.com/forums/60-Fast-Threads]Fast Threads[/url]. Post in FT and TS as a last resort if you feel like no one in The GMOD H&S can help.

Buy more RAM, XP uses up to 512MB. Steam uses like 50MB - 100MB Than you have to consider other small programs, 150MB-250MB That leaves Garry's Mod run off of (on bare minimum), 300MB. Not enough RAM.

When i use gmod, all my programs are closed, including explorer.exe and it didn't happened before and even when i had only 512MB ram ..

Try verifying Garry's Mod's GCF: Steam Library > right-click on Garry's Mod > Properties > Local Files Tab > Verify Integrity of Game Cache

Try verifying the cache, running on a lower dxlevel or lower settings. Try reinstalling it.

[QUOTE=DesumThePanda;31552872]Try verifying the cache, running on a lower dxlevel or lower settings. Try reinstalling it.[/QUOTE] Will try verifying cache, but i'm on lowest settings at the moment and reinstall didn't work.

Not enough RAM.[/QUOTE] RAM has nothing to do with this. I can run GMod on my little windows 7 netbook, with 1GB ram.

Sadly, verifying didn't help. Reinstall didn't help .. anyone here can help? //This is the error, if it helps [IMG]http://www.upload.ee/image/1557926/error01.JPG[/IMG]

Do you use any sort of Steam Patches, it smells pretty bad after one. Also your system seems pretty damn old. Also yea the people here are right if you are out of memory it lead to undefined behaviours

[QUOTE=ZehMatt;31571635]Do you use any sort of Steam Patches, it smells pretty bad after one. Also your system seems pretty damn old. Also yea the people here are right if you are out of memory it lead to undefined behaviours[/QUOTE] I don't use any patches and have never used. My PC is old, 9 years old, but still i didn't have this problem before and now i even have more memory..

Do you have any dumps in your dump folder? If so, you should check them out using [url]http://dumps.garrysmod.com/[/url]

[QUOTE=LuaMilkshake;31576315]Do you have any dumps in your dump folder? If so, you should check them out using [url]http://dumps.garrysmod.com/[/url][/QUOTE] Yes, every time game crashes one crash_hl2.exe_xxxxxxxxxx.dmp is created. I fed the dump eater my last dump, and this is what came up (it's large text so i reuploaded it to my host): [url]http://kz.ee/dl/dump01.html[/url]

You need more RAM.

[QUOTE=deggie;31582708]You need more RAM.[/QUOTE] This RAM thing is getting me pissed already, how can it be RAM if i didn't have this problem even with 512MB memory .. ? E: I figured it out myself, still, thanks to all for helping me! It was massive console spam, so i added this to command line: +con_filter_enable 1 +con_filter_text_out "vertex" +con_filter_text_out "warning: " +con_filter_text_out "ignoring" and now my console works and better fps <3 :P.
