Game keeps crashing

If your PC restarted this sounds like you're having a hardware issue. Check your system logs.

Is it your GMOD crashing or your whole computer?

Unsubscribe from all workshop addons and run the Factoryreset.bat in the Garry's Mod directory [...]steamapps\common\GarrysMod\FactoryReset-GMod.bat
Also disable Steam cloud for Garry's Mod so it doesn't redownload some botched .cfg file (right click>properties), make sure you also manually delete your addons folder, downloads, download and cfg folder.
We just need to see if you can start the game and get into the server after doing a full wipe.

To make sure that everything resets (including key binds and other options made through .cfg's) you can run Garry's Mod once with these launch options

Once you have done that you can delete these launch options. Verifying game files after all these steps also doesn't hurt.

If the game starts normally you can subscribe to the workshop content and try to join from there. Make sure the game is actually in 64 Bit, you can check this in Task Manager and look up the currently running Garry's Mod process. If it doesn't say (32-bit) then you're good.

Report back and we'll go from there.

How it looks like now, you've solved my problem! Thank you so much!

I'm glad it worked then.

If the problem persists you can make another Help & Support thread or report your own thread to be opened again. I'll move this to the archives.
