Games freezing and becoming unclosable

On a lot of my games (especially games running on the Source engine), my game
will suddenly stop responding. When I try to close them by right clicking on
their button in the taskbar and selecting "Close", the End Application dialog
box pops up and I click End Application, but nothing happens. If I try to end
the process for the game through CTRL+ALT+DEL, this also does not work, and
the program sits there eating up my RAM (but having a very little effect on
my CPU). If I try to restart the computer, the program still refuses to
close, and so the computer cannot shut down. I have to flick the power switch
on the back of the computer in order to shut it down. I am at a loss at what
to do to resolve this problem.

It must be Garry's Mod...(whatever it is) that's causing the problem?

OMG you don't know what Garry's Mod is?

Hang your head in shame! Go on... hang it... LOWER... We'll wait.

Garry's Mod 9 is free, I think you can still download it, Garry's Mod 10 is like $10, and is really fun. If you're even remotely interesting in playing around with all the Source Engine assets, this is the way to do it.

For some examples of some of the more "zany" things to come out of Garry's Mod, look here.
