Whenever I try to connect to a Garry's Mod server, I manage to stay there for a minute or so and I get this error.

It happens on a variety of servers, including my favorite... HL2RP. Can somebody help me with this error? I've clicked the link but I didnt find much of a solution.

Google the problem? Google is very helpful in most cases. Check the gmod subforums on the steam community forums.

..halp?
Check the gmod subforums on the steam community forums.
I wish I could, but I have to have 10 post in ontopic posts, and I dont know where to find them. By the look of it, I'm the only person in the world who has this error.

Maybe your firewall, I remember I had a problem similar to that not long ago when I couldn't connect to any Source engine servers. It was my Anti-virus's firewall and all I had to do was turn it off.

[UPDATE ON THE SITUATION]

So I shut down my anti-virus and firewall. I got the error faster. I read something saying that on source games, it because the game is overloaded and few people arent able to handle it. I'll have this error unless I get a different computer.

This sucks.

[SITUATION UPDATE]
Haha! I got a message from them.
Hello Ezry,

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

Please exit Steam and go to the folder called C:Program FilesSteam (this is the default location for a Steam installation - if you set a different installation directory, you will need to browse to it).

Delete all of the files in this folder except:

The Steamapps folder and Steam.exe (this file is listed as an application and features the black and white Steam logo)

Restart your computer.

Then, launch Steam.exe from within the Steam installation folder, and not from a pre-existing shortcut.

With Steam running, re-test the original issue.

Note: This process will not affect your currently installed games.

If the issue persists, make sure your network is optimized for Steam:

Title: Secure connection failed, No Steam logon, or A connection to the VAC servers could not be made
Link: http://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7579-RPSX-6098

If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Very similar to your 'Delete clientregistry.blob'.

[EDIT]CARP DIDNT WORK
