Guild Wars 2

Since September or so i have been having a issue that tons of other people have been having. Computer turning off while playing the game for no reason what so ever.
Mainly when in the Fractal lobby looking into the middle part where you walk into to start. Fire attacks that Eles create or asura portals.

I have tried checking the temperature on everything and i have switched PSU to higher voltage and still the same issue, just as frequent and by the same things.
Eventually i found out, the issue is caused purely by the shader option. I am forced to run it on low now. Putting it up will make all the issues come back, while if i have it on low, i dont crash at all anymore.

Everything else i have as high as possible. If i put everything low and shaders high. Crash.
Now im wondering if there after all this time if there is any fix at all for this. It just completely randomly started happening to me too.

Post your system specs including the power supply brand and watt rating. This problem is usually connected to under rated or bad PSU.

Ive already come to the conclusion that it is absolutely 100% sure that its not my PSU.

regardless on how badly anet made the game, software should never crash the OS.

You should test your system.

Oh how so? Did you run a volt meter over it and check the readings? On all the rails? And were they as they are supposed to be? Even under full load? And did you check PSU internal temps to ensure it wasn’t an overheat shutdown?

Or did you just play some other games and decide it wasn’t the PC?

In any case, when a system powers down without you specifically telling it to then there is a fault in the system. You are either having a BSOD event and not noticing it (unlikely), or you are having a power failure to the system either from overheating or from faulty and/or inadequate hardware.

Sorry but that’s the gist of it.

My advice is to test another PSU of a higher wattage in the system if possible.
