[SOLVED] Game screwed me over?

SEklum · 04-20-2009, 06:21 PM

I Downloaded this game called Garry's mod 10 on my laptop that I use at my moms, and it would run at an ok rate on multiplayer and single player. It wasn't as good as my other comp but worth it to play the game. Now I was online one time and a so called "minge" (Someone who causes general mayhem on a server, by crashing it and/or killing players." And they spawned an explosive thingy that teleports to people and explodes. It exploded on me and my computer coulndt handle it, The screen started flashing black-gray at 3-5 second intervals. When I hit the windows key I got to the desktop, ended the process. I noticed there was a little yellow triangle with a ! in the taskbar, that had a popup saying "One or more of your diplay drivers has stopped working" I Ignored it, thinking it was gone now that I ended the game. I played the game, it was fine, and then, lo and behold, after I restardet my computer the game laggs like nothing else, even on the smallest map in singleplayer. Any help?

Hi, welcome to TSF

Have you tried reinstalling your graphics driver?

Wow... It worked!

Thanks, I guess some things are just more obvious than they appear. =Þ
