Q:

So I’ve been playing WoW for a bit…yes…you can play two games…haven’t been on Guild Wars 2 in a couple days, then I finally get on today and I try to play…

A few minutes later in game…My computer goes black and a green small window appears saying something about checking your video card cable or a signal went off, etc…or something like that and it goes black and stays like that until i have to reset “reboot manually”

I tried other games, and this isn’t having any problems only GW2.

My specs:

Windows 7 64 bit
900 * 1600 resolution
6870 HD AMD Card
4 gigs of ram
SSD 500gb hard drive
Quad Core Processor 9750 t AMD 2.40GHZ

What could be the problem?

My drivers are 12.8

A Corsair 500W, but it shouldn’t be the problem as i can run borderlands 2, etc with no problems.

It kinda sounds like your video card is overheating. Try downloading MSI afterburner and using the on screen display to figure out what temp your card is running at when your screen goes black.

Still not working and again, every other game works fine, Borderlands 2, Battlefield 3, and World of Warcraft.

This worked fine a week ago, WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT NOW!!!

Please test your system stability with the post I linked before. Then you can know for sure if it’s a hardware or software problem.

Other games working fine, unfortunately, is no assurance of anything.

Okay I tested my system with Intelburn and CPUID, and I passed it. What could I try now?

Take the card out, get a can of compressed air, clean the PCIE slot and the graphics card (the connectors) thoroughly. Then use a vacuum (without the floor attachment) and again clean it out.
