Blue Screen Of Death crash
Read the blue screen for an error code and/or file name. GPU related errors for example are easy to spot by the name of the dll.
If you’ve overclocked, run a stress test for 8+ hours. It’s even possible to run it for days without error only to have it crash on a simple task. GW2 is fairly CPU intensive compared to other games. If you haven’t, you may also want to run a test that is capable of stressing both your CPU and GPU at the same time to ensure your PSU is stable.
it points towards a driver error thats causing it but ive tried everything driver wise and no luck, just something in this game, and if it was a driver error my gpu stress tests and other games would be spazzing out but its only this game in particular that is causing it and i play alot , if you look through the posts on other threads its becoming more and more apparent that it looks like something with the new patch is spazzing out high end cards

if it was now this ill eat my kitten hat and all my clothes to go with it i just pulled one of my ram sticks and it seems to be o.k for now, even though i thoroughly tested them one by one for hours and no errors, ill get back later on with the full verdict.
it was lol after i pulled one that appeared to have no fault at all there must of been that 0.1% bit that the diagnostic dident show that was tripping it.
Before assuming the RAM is simply defective, refer to your motherboard’s manual to determine which slots you should be using. To make things simple, test 1 stick at a time in the first slot, then the other slot. The problem could be with the slot itself.
Run a full memtest, preferably one that’s bootable rather than a program that is executed through Windows.
