BSOD when playing GW2. PLEASE HELP!
Is your CPU OCed at all ? As this sounds like an OC issue to be honest, Yes you maybe stable with 1 app that’s CPU heavy, but you need to also realize that every app act’s differently with the CPU, I remember when I 1st OCed my 955BE to 4Ghz an thought it was stable after an 12 hour test with Prime95 that I had a stable OC, how ever 2 weeks later when I was playing Skyrim I had a BSOD, but prior to that everything else I ran was fine. So If you are OCing Anything reverse the OC an then play GW2 and see how that pans out.
The other thing that Might be causing the BSODs is that some component/s might actually be not getting all the power it needs to run at the loads GW2 puts on it, usually this is the CPU. It’s kind of like a bad OC in that the OC needs more power to run stable, but in this case you could be stock but Still need more power because of the load on the components. PCs are sometimes really temperamental at times lols.
i know this is nearly 3 weeks old, but has anyone found a fix to this x6 / GW2 issue?
I too am running:
Phenom x6 1100t
Radeon HD 6850
Gigabyte 990fxa ud3
2×4gb Patriot Gamer v2
Corsair HX750 PSU
Corsair H60 Water cooler
120gb SSD
1TB HHD
Thor V2 case
This is the only game I have troubles with. And I runs fine on all settings, but 30min in and BSoD.
LOL! I posted in your other thread. But just to update, we also have nearly the same Mobo (mine is the UD5 version). Taking into account the fact that we run the same mobo and processor, check you mobo BIOS. There was a new version released 10/25/2012 that resolved my BSOD issue.
Okay, I am also getting BSODs when playing GW2 (but I can my other games, like Skyrim, just fine).
I ran Memtest86 and got 0 errors.
I ran WhoCrashed and this is what I got:
