Guild Wars 2

Right i hope someone can answer a few questions, the story so far

When i load Guild wars 2 is freezes my entire machine, now since this i have gone into other games for example borderlands 2. On the ammo menu it also freezes my computer. Are both the guild wars 2 login and borderlands 2 ammo use flash player? Came to this conclusion due to a pop up off a website with a video froze the machine. Long shot asking this but this is what ive done so far

Reformatted, reinstalled drivers for everything (windows 7 64)
backdated graphics drivers nvidia
tried beta driver nvidia
installed a crap radeon Card which replaced my GTX 580 as i thought it was faulty but
same issue
windows memory diagnostic 100% pass on my 16gb ddr3

Now tomorrow my friend is going to try replacing my Power supply with his to see if its a fault supplying enough power the graphics card. Also memory – This leaves simply HD 240bg SSD intel, Chip i7 3930k, motherboard sabertooth x79.

As i don’t believe these have faults I am at a loss and i cant play anything now longer than 10mins, even league of legends.

Any suggestions?

Will also add nothing is overheating, monitored everything down to the component fans on the motherboard all is within range

max heat on GTX 580 was 52.c
max heat on radeon was 48.c

Power sounds like a good guess. Could also be the board. Hard-lockups (No BSOD, no restart, no power-off) are almost always power related, but could be caps on the board, a blown VRM, or just a failing PSU.

im just getting this feeling flash has something to do with everyones issue here, has flash player 11 had a recent update that has screwed everyone?

might sound noobish but im running out of options here

Nope.

There was an old issue with hardware acceleration on an early version, but not recently.

If you were getting random popups on some video site, might want to check for any malware.

fresh format m8, same issue before formatting…was restored to out the box until updating drivers and obviously flash

Oh. Yeah, then. My money is on some bad hardware.

If you don’t want to wait on that PSU, you can always try a memtest. I’ve seen a lot of bad memory do a lot of strange things, Otherwise, hopefully the PSU will tell you what’s up.

When you have the case open, probably want to inspect your board for anything that looks suspicious around the CPU and VRMs.

Pc is going to my mate tomorrow so he can investigate as he has spare components to try,im thinking power supply at this point but it really seems strange especially with borderlands that i can run the game forever aslong as i dont access the ammo buy?? seem strange to u????

Run memtest, I’ve seen bad RAM do messed up things.

Honestly, nothing really seems “strange” any more.

the flash version used in guild wars 2 is embedded.

Passing memtest doesn’t put Memory in the clear though, since it doesn’t test page execution, just read, write and copy.
