Guild Wars 2

Whenever I am online in GW2 I often get black and white lines flickering across my screen horizontally. It is worse in major cities and if the screen is tilted towards areas with a lot of action. Sometimes this will cause my computer to crash to a multi-colored static screen forcing a restart. This happened before and after I had my graphics drivers updated and turning on v-sync seems to outright crash my computer in the same way stated above. I do not have this issue with any other games.
My card is a nvidia gtx 260m and these issues have occured when i ran windows7 as well as windows 8. Thanks in advance

The first thought that comes to my mind is whether or not your laptop is over heating. Lets make sure your CPU and GPU temperatures are within their limits. If you don’t already have software that monitors your GPU temperature and CPU temperature then I would recommend getting HWMonitor, which can be found here:

Make sure to leave Guild Wars 2 running for a little while before determining how hot your GPU or CPU get.

It looks like the temp is fine. It is running cooler than it is when it runs some of my other games without issue.
