Windows 8.1
Please post the parts under —> System <— and

You can find the file with the crash reports here (at least that is the location with windows 7):
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2\ArenaNet.log

Try looking at this thread. Seems to describe the same problem. Short version is that OOM means out of memory, which means that GW2 or some other program has a memory leak (taking more and more memory without releasing what it doesn’t use), you not having enough memory overall, or some combination of the above. A potential workaround mentioned in the thread is to reduce your overall settings to use less memory, and maybe close some background programs that you’re using. And yes, a log would help. Please don’t past the whole log like in the other thread, click “More posting & formatting options…” and attach the text file.

It’s a windows 8.1 problem. I briefly had a computer with the same problem (bought and returned to store the same day due to this). You can try to work around it, but the easiest way is just to replace the win8.
Replacing it with win7 (or any other system you like) will solve this problem (note that you’ll need a code from windows to be able to change out windows 8.1 for something else in most laptop computers).
Win8 will do this in multiple games, so even if you do a work-around for gw, you’ll likely encounter this problem often in different programs

I personally use Windows 8.1 laptop to play GW2 and I don’t have any problems. It might be something related to the settings and layout you currently have.
