What are your computer specs?

I used to have this all the time, then I switched to a USB sound card and it stopped for a while and then the USB sound card broke so it started crashing again. I've upgraded my system twice and since I've upgraded (touch wood) no hl2.exe errors.

If it crashes with a looping sound, it's the sound card

[cowbow50]

i shoot somone that makes a blood like particle then the person goes *hurt* *hurt* *hurt* *hurt* *hurt* *hurt* *hurt* *hurt* *hurt* CRASH

Looks like you might need a better graphics card. I don't think a 32mb graphics card is good enough to run Source.

 

[TheFreeman]

I have the exact same problem, if I kill an NPC in GMOD, even If I'm far away and not looking at it it still crashes. My comp's specs are good enough to run GMOD fairly smoothly.

doesnt let you have any fon does it <=(
