Guild Wars 2

So I’ve tried everything I can think of. With all the graphics setting turned down all the way I get 80-100 FPS. Even still everything acts like it is pulsing. The game hangs for half a second then runs extra fast for half a second and catches up. I have 8 gig RAM, I5 750 and Radeon 5770…should be able to handle this no problem. The FPS is what really throws me…any ideas?

Post your dxdiag here; Start → Run → dxdiag → Save All Information.

I have way too many windows open in Chrome right now, but here it is…

I also discovered today that using the frame limiter helps. It becomes less choppy when I set it down to 30…how does that make sense?

Your video driver is rather old from 2009. Would try updating. (see Part 1.1)

So, I downloaded the ATI auto-update and ran it. It said that it completed successfully and my graphics changed resolution. Then about 5 seconds later the screen went all black. Now, whenever I boot the computer after about 30 seconds it goes completely black again. I was able to get in and started running a system restore – again the screen went black while it was running and now it has a hardware alarm. It is one long beep and two short beeps, which I think means a video card issue.

Kirito, you killed my whole computer! Please help friends!

Auto-updater might have installed an incompatible driver version. Try using safemode to roll back drivers or system restore.

If you still get blackscreen and beeps, then it sounds like your video card is slowly dying. You can try re-seating it and ram while you are at it.

use safe mode to disable the driver and reboot to normal mode

uninstalling in safe mode will break the system

Thanks a bunch for the help. System restore did end working and we’re back to where we started.
