Was referred here by Sam., who kindly spent over 45 minutes trying to help me out.
I've restarted my computer 4 times , verified game-cache 2 times, and used numerous commands all throughout our chat to no avail. At the moment I'm re-installing, which will take a LONG time, so I'm making this thread to see if anyone could help me out :( My drivers are up to date, my computer has 16gb of RAM and was running TF2 fine 2 hours prior to this happening.
Commands Sam. gave me

Sam.: then join a server
