When I try launching Gmod it shows the 'Preparing to launch Garry's Mod' window but then a window appears that says 'hl2.exe has stopped working'. After going into the problems and solutions in control panel I found this. (If its any help or makes any sense to you, as it doesn't to me)

I have tried verifying the integrity of the game's cache files and in the launch option writing '-dxlevel 8'. I also tried launching Half-Life 2 before launching Garry's Mod again.
