Hey all,

I bought GW2 this morning, and it initially BSOD’d on install. I reinstalled the AMD drivers, and it worked fine. Managed to install GW2, but now whenever I load up the Launcher it goes back to the BSOD (atikmpag.sys). Sometimes it’s as soon as I load the launcher, sometimes it’s when I hit play, but I’ve never got further than that.

Tried a load of things, such as a clean uninstall of Drivers (for both the integrated and separate graphics card) then reinstall, removing AVG, and anything else Google told me to.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Check your HDD for failing sectors, and check your ram with Memtest86+.

When you have a driver BSOD your system,over and over, its generally hardware related.

And you should run TDSSKiller to make sure you dont have a rootkit.
