Two Issues. Please help.

[Eskay]

I do not know about the first problem, but i think i can help you about the second issue.

This happened to my computer a few months ago, when i did not have a very good computer. What you have to do is make sure in garrys mod all your settings are reduced, because it may be that your computer cannot run it, and it is forcing the program to shut down, due to the fact that your memory is being used when loading the server.

That should work, and if it doesn't then try contacting steam support, and see what they can do for you.

I can play garry's mod fine, singleplayer and other servers. I will try it though and see
if it works. Thanks for the help.
