I've been wondering this for a while, and my graphics card is probably why GMod refuses to run.

look inside the case

if your monitor connects to a plug on the expansion slots on the back, you'll more than likely have a separate video card, otherwise it'll be motherboard video (which doesn't necessarily rule out the possibility of an upgrade)

once you can see the PCI slots, you'll have to find out whether you have an AGP, PCI-E, or plain PCI slot somewhere; PCI-E is pretty much the only one that'll have recent cards -- AGP pretty much stopped a few generations ago, and if you only have regular PCI... you might as well forget about it

there's more stuff to take into consideration, such as your PSU wattage, driver compatibilities, and even whether or not the card will even fit in your case (which is unfortunately trial-and-error sometimes)

I should have specified I was talking about a laptop.

Also, my dad has found a way to find out, so this can be locked/deleted.
