Guild Wars 2

I can get to the char screen and have no problems. I then enter the game with any char and in seconds it freezes and graphics get all wierd (non-full screen)… full screen there are pixilated lines evenly spaced across the screen running vertical – it then freezes.

I have played through beta and up until last night and have had zero problems. I returned home today and turned on computer… logged in and had the issues.

I also tried Diablo III and have the same issue… So I fear its my computer… hoping it’s just a microsoft update but not sure??

I can close the window and the window “sticks” but if I open up IE I can use IE to “wipe” the stuck window graphics away. In full screen mode I need turn off the computer (hard shutdown).

Thoughts?

That is a video card fault, it could be drivers, but its usually the hardware itself.
