Hey everyone. I'm having some problems with Steam. I've had an Inspiron N5110 for maybe 4 years now or so, and for 80% of that time I had Windows 7 on it, it came preloaded. A few months ago I switched to Ubuntu 14.04. I removed Unity and lightdm and replaced them with i3 Window Manager. Playing Garry's Mod was great, it worked fine. I was able to play on the highest graphics settings (which I wasn't able to do when I ran Win7) presumably due to OpenGL (I'm not really sure, I don't know that much about it), but now I try to play it and it's to the point where I cant move. 1 frame will hang for maybe 10 seconds. Htop is telling me it's maxing out my cpu and ram. I don't understand why this is happening all of a sudden, when just recently it was working fine. Exiting Gmod, everything returns to normal.
Hardware:
4 gb ram
i3-2330M @ 2.2ghz
1gb Intel HD integrated
Appreciate the help.
