    I've had that a fair few times. One time I had it was when I put about 100 NPC's and blew them up with a nuke, I think it is something to do with the source engine hitting its limits in what It can do onscreen (Based on computer specs). Another Time was on TF2 when loads of heavy's were firing at once and bullets and blood going everywhere (P4 2.7Ghz, Nvidia 6600le, 1Gb ram) However I got the worlds worst computer, Post your systems specs Maxy. I doubt that is the Problem, But its worth a shot.

    Kind regards,
    Killermon

    Last time I checked that error manifests itself as "insufficient system resources to continue."

    Try verifying game cache, renaming garrysmod folder, and/or googling the error code.

    No, it happens to me sometimes when I alt+tab out of GMod (windowed) while loading a server.

    viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7560 That is my topic about it when I had it...but yeah, I cleared some real "attic storage" stuff of my computer and that worked. So you probably need to clear the memory a bit like the others said.

    Well, Teddi knows better than me..but just to let you know, I use a little freeware program called Windows Advanced care (Only works for Windows xD) and that cleans a lot of the junk away, but if you have any downloaded programs taking up space in places like my documents or desktop, it might clear them away too...
