Whenever I go to play Garry's Mod, I can't see anything because everything is distorted with grey, squiggly lines. I can't even take a picture because when I do, it comes out looking completely normal (not distorted). I tried re-installing Garry's Mod, and even Steam itself. It didn't work. It can't be my graphics card because it is up to date. What can I do?
Edit: Restarting the computer doesn't help either. All the most basic solutions are out of the question.

Over 100 views, and not a single suggestion? Come on, there's got to be a solution to this.
Printscreen while ingame and then show us the result.
If that doesn't work, try to take a photo of it.
Printscreen in game doesn't work; the photo comes out completely normal and not distorted. I restarted my computer after re-installing Steam and Garry's Mod, and now its not grey colored/squiggly lines, but it has distorted horizontal lines. Why didn't I think of taking a photo earlier? -.-

Sounds like your video card has gone to shit.
That might be a possibility. Maybe I didn't update everything. I'll check it out.

Yup. Turns out I didn't install the correct video card. The game's working smoothly now. If anyone else is having this problem, these are the links that I went to:
