Alright, do the following for me,

Tell me:
When did this start happening.
When this started, did you download anything that could interfere with it?
Do you get that problem on other servers?
Go to Options>Multiplayer> and make sure you selected "Allow all custom files from server"
What graphics card do you use?

Did you start getting the errors after you changed your graphics card?
if im not wrong it started before i changed but then it would just turn the text into boxes after a while of playing, recently when i have tried to go on the server it has just been all black like it would not load the visuals of the map but i could still sometimes do things like punch and stuff
It could be conflicting drivers or something along the lines of that.

I am out of ideas, I will page an expert, if you have any ideas please help!

i was asking on the server before and there was one guy who said he experienced it too but i cant remember who it was, it was liek a few weeks ago
i dont know if its your server or its just me
Your GMOD might be running on the wrong graphics card, your computer might be using the integrated graphics card instead of the main one. You need to go to the Nvidia Control Panel, Press Manage 3D settings, global settings and click preferred graphics processor making it the main one, and then go to program settings, choose gmod and make sure it's using that one also.

Big thanks to for informing me about this (and pretty much writing all this).

Did you try the second part?

Also try restarting your computer if you changed the graphics settings.
