I recently had my graphics card freeze and computer bluescreen afterwards (when GPU couldn’t recover) during Dry Top sandstorm effect. First game got laggy, then screen froze as sand-colored garbled mess.

My PC can handle GW2 max level graphics pretty well and I’ve never had a similar problem before with any game, in fact I think it was the first bluescreen I ever had on this PC (about 3 years old). Has anyone else experienced it, or is it a known problem for developers?

It seems to happen regularly when I try to play with sandstorm going on. This time I was able to log out, but it still messed up my screen and I had to reboot.
