I reinstalled Windows 7 on my laptop yesterday and afterwards played GW2 for quite a while with no problems at all. Today when I tried to play again, I had massive issues with graphics – seeing blue lines and weird textures all over the place (see image).

I already updated the Nvidia GeForce driver and emptied the GW2 cache. Both didn’t help.

I have a packard bell laptop with Intel I7-2670QM with GeForce GT 540M, 2 GB VRAM. Never had a problem so far and been playing for almost a year.

Does anyone have another idea what I could do, or is this an issue someone else has had?

Could be overheating, check your temps. You should also clean out the dust in the vents to prevent. If that fails you can try to repair the client https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28148006-Repairing-the-Game-Client
There are aftermarket laptop coolers available as well for a low price

Thanks. I had to re-install the game, that helped.
