blue/yellow textures followed by crash

I’ve never had this problem before.
My drivers are up to date.

So I stopped playing GW2 for a while and decide to come back.
Everything goes smoothly, no lag or w/e.
But often I’ll get blue/yellow gradients replacing textures (especially character models & patches of mini-map/work map) and eventually crash. This is happening really often.

Help?

I’m going to make an educated guess and ask you to start checking what your GPU temperatures are around the time that the textures have gone wild. A download link can be found here:

Hi Reiizm – This does sound like overheating especially if this occurs after some time of playing. If this is the case, you could risk physical damage to your card or any of your other hardware in your system.

Aside from this, when it comes to weird graphics issues I would definitely recommend a clean installation of your video card drivers.

I doubt it’s due to overheating but I’ll check with my computer technician and see.
I will do a clean installation of my video card drivers and get back to you.
