I am using a Windows 7 PC and I am trying to play Garry's Mod. This PC used to BSOD ALL the time, but only because drivers were missing, but I got them updated and installed. So today, I installed Garry's Mod since it's one of my favorite games. Anyway, I had set ALL settings to the lowest. It's not a bad PC, I just like running it really fast in a higher resolution (1280x720, or 720p). I accidentally clicked the quote ( this -> ` ) key. Garry's Mod crashes, but the PC is still running (no BSOD). I restart the game, but it just crashes on load. So I check the settings, all are on highest. I turn them all down to the lowest this time. However, this time, instead of just crashing Garry's Mod, it crashed igdkmd32.sys, as if the drivers were gone again.
I thought this was strange, cause the drivers are u-t-d (up-to-date), and the PC had no other applications open. Here's the weird thing. I have a even lower end PC that plays it full speed. (low settings tho).
Here's the specs of both:
nice PC (one with BSOD): Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 running at 2.80 GHz; 4.00GB of RAM (DDR2); no graphics card (no PCI slots); Intel Integrated Graphics (Q45);
lower end PC (one that needs all low settings and low res): Intel Core 2 Duo running at 3.00GHz (not sure of model no.); 2.00GB of RAM (had 4 GB, but somethings wrong with two 1GB sticks); no graphics card (PCI slots, but hard to find for 2.75 inch PCI slot); Intel Integrated Graphics (Q45);
They're basically the same PC, but one has 2GB less RAM. All (Graphics) drivers are the same for the two PCs. I'll upload the Minidump if that helps at all. https://parappawithfries.com/minidump/040319-21262-01.dmp
