Garrys Mod Crashes On Map Boot

[Rukus.]

Every map in Gmod crashes when I boot it except flatgrass with a "hl2 exe has failed" message. Here a list of my settings and what I did to try and fix it.

I force DX 80, changing it lets me construct sometimes, but thanks to my suckputer when people start using fancy particles and such I lag to hell.

I refreshed my GMOD folder by deleting my garrsmod directory and letting it rebuild, to no effect.

I tried DX 81 with the same effect.

Is there any work around to garrys breaking of his own mod?

Can you give us the details of the crash report?


Also, have you tried the usual fixes of verifying, defrag?
