Gmod Problems

[Jetlok]

So when I play Gmod, sometimes my computer crashes. But I think its only when I look at a certain texture. I couldnt play Portal because I dont have the right graphics card. Is that the problem? If it is the graphics card, how much do they cost?

While we are on the topic of Garry's Mod problems, my crosshair disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. Any ideas?

I guess just post your dxdiag.
For XP, go to Run, then type "DxDiag", wait for it to load and then save all information to a place easy to find.
Then post it under additional options in the post menu.
For Vista/7(I think 7 is the same), go to all programs. Then go to accessories I think, then run. Next type in "DxDiag", the save it like in XP and post it.

Edit: If you're on mac, you're screwed bro, idk.
