I am having a similar issue. I have not tried WvW since the update but the pavilion crashes my machine. I cannot get through a full boss fight without this happening. I ran a computer monitor program called speedfan and my cpu is getting to 81C during the new boss fights with around 90% cpu usage. During this my Gpu is not used as much and doesn’t heat up badly. I ran around the normal maps and noticed a 20C difference in cpu temp with around 25% usage; my gpu is used more during this. It seems to me that it may just be an optimization issue with the new content.

My setup:
Win 7 Ultimate x64
AMD A6-3650
8G RAM
GeForce GTX 560 2G

Your CPU is overheating due to a cooling problem.

The max temp for that processor is 72 C.

Yes, I know that is is overheating. This problems only occurs when in the Queen’s Pavilion. It also is trying to using all 4 cores at 90% (This does not happen in any other part of the game). This is why I believe this content is not optimized correctly, and it is pulling on to much cpu power, instead of the gpu.

It doesn’t work that way – there is no such thing as “too much” CPU power. You should be able to run all cores at 100% for hours without overheating. This is a cooling system problem.

I recommend that you clean your fans and replace the thermal grease on your CPU. The only way to properly fix this problem is to repair the cooling system. If you are overclocking your CPU, removing the overclock will probably reduce the temperatures to a normal range.

Your analysis is not wrong (GW2 seriously hogs some CPU resources….or rather it’s use of DirectX 9c does), but your system is failing because it is not properly cooled….

Ran a System File Check from the command prompt and no problems detected. I will run a memory ram check and post results
