Guild Wars 2

So now that the lag has stopped (thanks, Anet team) my laptop started to crash unexpectedly, but only while playing Gw2. It’s not overheating, and i even have a cooling pad. So it goes like this: I start the game up, play for about 15-30 minutes and then my laptop randomly restarts itself. No clue why.

Intel Core i7-2630QM @2.00Ghz
6.00 GB of DDR2
nVidia GeForce GT 540M (yeah i know, not really for gaming)
Windows 7 64bit

Any help would be appreciated

this may have to do with the bad drivers nvidia has been issuing lately. gw2 itself wont make your computer reboot, but if it causes the nvidia card to call up a bug from their recent drivers ..it will. I just got a bluescreen today , and the only new thing I’ve installed recently is the nvidia beta drivers. Otherwise my computer has been pretty stable, rarely a bluescreen. I may have to revert my drivers back to 314 or 310 soon if it keeps happening.

Probably your cooling pad doesnt do its job and you are experiencing over heating issues. Even desktops overheats running GW2. I’d start monitoring the temps get something like HW monitor or that sort of program to monitor Gpu and Cpu temps realtime. ?f you are going close to 100 on cpu its time to clean the laptop and re-apply thermal compound on both cpu and gpu.

I actually had the laptop cleaned just a week or so ago and the cpu and gpu temps don’t go near 100. And i got the cooling pad about 3 days ago so i don’t think its not working
