It doesn't just happen on gmod, it happens to any games that happen to be 3D and doesn't run on a browser. The better the graphics, the more likely it freezes. It doesn't do any blue screens, nothing, it just either black screens for a second and says that the nvidia drivers stopped working, and/or it just freezes everything, cant move the mouse or anything, requiring a hard reboot. I've did a fresh reinstall of windows 10, I've defragged my drives, I've everything I could conveniently do. It also randomly stutters.

It may be time for a new PC dude, if you think you've already done everything you can, there's not much more you could do to fix the problem.

unless you're okay playing flash games

Pc specs ?

Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz

Video Card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M

RAM
12 GB

Operating System
Microsoft Windows 10 (build 10586), 64-bit

I got a meh-grade laptop, it can play games, since it had gaming in mind when being made, but it's not the best out there.

Ah fuck, I knew that would probably be the case. I have my main gaming PC, but it's dead right now as well. :steamsad:

If you can, try salvaging that 12gbs of RAM, could be used for a new PC?

I got a gaming desktop, but like I said, it's dead because of a power supply failure and I didn't get the time or money to fix it.
