Occasionally (more than) my client will freeze, black screen, go to desktop, then back to game and read my display driver stopped working on my desktop. Now I ran Memtest, everything came back fine. Updated drivers. Tried playing even in low settings (when I almost max or do max FarCry 3, ARMA3, Skyrim, BF3, and ARMA2). Every game is fine but GW2. I run in windowed fullscreen also. Also tried Anet solution that is stickied.

My specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Edition x64
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD7850
RAM: 8GB
CPU: Intel i5-2500k running at 3.3GHz
PSU: Corsair TX650

Any help would be appreciated. I’ve had this ever since launch of GW2. Literally cannot find a solution

when you updated the drivers did you total uninstall and after retart the pc and installed the new one or just upgrade ?

also many antivirus don’t allow some changes in system files . better disable it when you install / uninstall drivers
