So i have a Gigabyte R9 280X Winforce OC (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4847#ov) and when i play, after some time it randomly crashes. It either goes black-screen or the image is frozen. Sound still seems to be going or at least looping.

I have to ctrl+alt+delete, shut down program. It says Gw2 not responding.

Anybody else has this problem??

My specs:
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=4151#ov)
i5 3450 Ivy Bridge
Hard disk Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA3 64MB

Check all your drivers first, make sure they are updated. Are you overclocking higher than the boost? You could try it on the default settings.
