From Garry's Mod

Problem: White diagonal line on screen

As of the recent HDR source engine update the game handles shaders differently, which is causing some minor graphical glitches when displaying bloom on Garry's Mod.

To fix this simply turn the 'Bloom' effect off. The option can be changed using the Spawn Menu under the post-processing section, or alternatively by entering 'pp_bloom 0' in the console.
