Graphics issues + Game crashes

Hello,

So my game has been running fine (with the exception of all the common mass errors, that is) up until this week. A few days ago I started getting my first game crashes, two of which allowed me to send in reports. One was what seems like the commonly widespread c00…..5 error. The other one mentioned graphics drivers. Unfortunately I don’t have the reports, unless they’re saved somewhere.

Today, I haven’t been able to play for more than a minute until things start going haywire. When typing in the chat, it seems to link to random items. Then, the text in the chat starts to be overlaid on everything, from event pop-ups to the game menu (Esc) options. Then the screen freezes/“buzzes”. Minimizing the game helps for a few minutes and it starts all over again.

I have updated my drivers to the latest. Problem persists. Help?

Specs:

Windows 8 CP build 8250
i7-2600
12GB RAM
128 M4 SSD + 1.5 TB HDD
HD 6950 2GB

What else do you need?

EDIT: I just tried again, and this time, as I kept on running around Lion’s Arch with the misplaced chat texts, the ground became black. Obviously graphical issue. Then the game crashed, and allowed me to send a report:

Out of memory? Really?
