In the last 2 weeks I’ve been having constant crashes to the desktop; This generally happens in a repeatable way, i.e. every time I enter a certain zone or attempt a specific action. For instance, yesterday I would crash anytime a character attempted to zone into Caledon Forest. After a complete reinstall, I now crash any time I attempt to open the achievements menu.

I’m running the following:

Windows 7 Pro, Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
i7-2600k@3.4GHz
32 GB Ram
GTX 580

There’s very little other software installed on the machine at this time. As far as I know, all my drivers are up to date, and I have no issues running other applications.

Any suggestions for trouble-shooting?

Thanks!

delete local.dat

its a cache file which if corrupted can cause all these problems.

I’ve used the -repair function repeatedly with no effect. I’ll give deleting the local.dat file a try when I get home today. Is this a file that will reestablish itself once I log back in?
