Diver Problem?

[Ebilruler]

When I am in game and building stuff usually after a while (15-40 minutes) when im in the middle of building or playing around my drivers crash and my monitor goes black. Then I usually turn off the computer cause I am annoyed... But sometimes when I let it come back on it tells me that the display drivers have recovered or whatever... I was wondering what I have to do so it will stop doing that..

[emperus]

Because, Isn't latest DX9?

[Ebilruler]

I dont know O_O this computers from like 06-07...

Yeah the latest is DirectX 10 :P

[emperus]

Is it a laptop? Add -dxlevel 80 to launch options on Garry's

[Ebilruler]

Desktop and ok but I think I have already done that in the past but, I will try anything :P

[emperus]

When the driver starts responding again, is GMod on run or crashed?

[Ebilruler]

Crashed

[emperus]

I had this before while playing an MMORPG, never got it fixed because it was hardware side... Update your drivers :)

[Ebilruler]

Ugh..ok I guess putting that off for a while isn't very good for your cpu then :P

Thanks for your help I will try :D

[emperus]

Tried :D

Hi!

I have similar problem but the game don't crash only this happens:

[url=http://kepfeltoltes.hu/view/090831/Gmod_Problem_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg][img]http://kepfeltoltes.hu/thumb/090831/Gmod_Problem_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg[/img][/url]

It happens after 40-50 minutes or after 1-2 hours and every text will be like this... And every icon. If I change the antialising in the options it gets better, I can read the texts, but a bit hardly, and every icon I preloaded will disappear... So if I loaded an icon after the game launch will disappear, I can see the others... Any ideas? Could it be because I copyed Gmod to another folder (Other steam disc, other folder for steam) BTW it's not the first time I copyed Gmod from another PC/DVD pack, and it worked until the last copy...

After Antialising:

I've had that bug before but it was completely random, I don't think nothing more than a memory error / w/e can cause it :s

[kanadaj]

and how did you solve it? Give more memory to my PC? :)
