Gmod crashing when attemping to play

[Parkos]

Its been more than a year that im having that problem, every time i try to play gmod, even online or singleplayer it just crashes and closes without showing any errors.

I have tried everything till i give up, but that week i have buyed new components for my pc (motherboard, cpu, ram and powercore) and i have tried again, but it still happening...

I have speaked several times with steam support (any solutions they just say that they cant give direct support) and sended some emails to the gmod support email (theyhave never answered).

I just dont know what to do...

Pc Specs:

- Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M LX3
- CPU: AMD FX Series FX-4130 3.8Ghz 4X
- Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 430
- RAM: 4gb (2x2gb)
-SO: Windows XP SP3

I have a fx series cpu, it apperently has some issues with games, but BIOS updates fix them. Update your BIOS to the latest version (be careful). It fixed my issues on a lot of games. also, thats a pretty up to date system to be running with windows xp, it could be an issue there. you could possibly try installing ubuntu, see if it works there

Ubuntu might give him even more problems if he's unfamiliar with Linux, better just get Windows 7.
