Guild Wars 2

Ever since the little patch that came out within the past few days, been crashing and getting BSOD. So far, had 1 BSOD and 4 crashes. I assumed it was the video card so i popped in a old video card to see if it helped and nothing. Checked drivers to see if they were up to date, nothing, and i even did a fresh install of windows just on some side chance my system was wonky. Nothing about to run the client repair thing uh muh bobber. See how it goes.

I’ve had the exact sae problems. Ever since the patch at the beginning of April I can’t run the game for more than about three minutes without it crashing. I’ve updated my graphics drivers, reformatted my harddrive, and even taken my computer to a repair shop to see if I had hardware issues, but GW2 is the only thing on my computer that isn’t working right…

so i was checking amd catalyst, and for some reason, idk why after i re-installed catalyst, my overdrive was on and my gpu was being overclocked. Not sure if this was the reason why i was BSODin, but been playing for past 30 minutes and its ok….so far. keep ya updated.

so turning off the overdrive seems to have cured it. don’t know why it would start with that on after a fresh install

Hey, how do you turn off the overdrive?

ok so back to the problem, just had a BSOD. right click amd vision control center and its under performance.

this is really weird, i just started playing again at end of march and after these past two little patches, i say little cause there wasn’t even a tracker/patch notes but i had a download of some sort while logging in the past few days. first time the game has done this to me and i played it for about 3 months at launch. idk, from what i’ve been gathering on the forums this is a ongoing issue with gw2.

some seem to think its anet, others think its human error i.e. cpu overclocking, gpu overclocked etc.

this has never happened to me before until today so idk whats going on.

on top of that, my speakers started popping after this last BSOD. also trying the gameadvisor.exe that i saw in another post, ill post results after.

here is my gw2 test txt file

on a side note, whenever im loading a map, the screen flickers and i get images of my desktop and my char. not sure if this is pertinent info

another update on this. played for about an hour on my laptop last night worked fine. been playing an hour today and fine so far, although i have been noticing spikes in cpu usage with the my performance monitor on my g510 keyboard. spikes of like 45%-55% usage on cpu in SAB. i rarely see it go above 25%. will keep this updated.

so played for 2hrs 40 minutes and crashed. no bsod yet.

so since last post i have yet to crash at all. the main change that i have done is limiting the fps to 60 and refresh rate to 60 as well as the native change in the video settings. also vertical sync.

Strange something like that would fix crashes?

I’ll give a shot.
