HELP: Computer crashes into weird lines!
Sounds like your overheating problem have caused permanent damage…
*didnt really read your entire post since I’m currently on my iPhone.
Don’t know wich component have been affected thou.
To be honest I do not believe it has caused permanent damage, since I am still able to run every game just fine. Only GuildWars is causing problems.
Hmmm…. Have you tried memtest and running some kind of benchmark?

Download Sapphire TRIXX and then try disabling ULPS thing in the settings tab… Ive got the exact same problem with my 6950@6970 its caused by some weird power management thing in CCC with that disabled you will be free as the wind^^
PS: Btw you will have to the same procedure everytime you make a fresh windows install cuz the problem persists…
That sounds more like an issue with your graphics card/GPU than the CPU. Usually, the colored lines is a symptom of a VRAM problem or other issue with the graphics card.
I’d make sure that the airflow around the graphics card is good and that the GPU fan is workin properly.
Memtest really doesn’t turn up anything. I am now going to try muslumgurseks’s solution and I will go play. I will make an update if anything changes.

Also forgot to mention it may persist through out GPU driver updates so make sure its still disabled when you update your ati drivers. Hope it works out for you too.
Unfortunately it crashed again…

then you might unfortunately need to update you vbios… Google it you will prolly find many people having the same issues
Ok I am quite ashamed of myself now. My previous BIOS version dated back to 2009 blushes I’ve updated it to the latest version available on the ASUS site hopefully this fixes the issue or else I am going to cry!
So far really thanks for your help muslumgurseks!
What I would do:
- Try running GW2 with only one monitor connected
- Test your GPU’s RAM
- Look for GPU BIOS, driver updates, incl betas
- Look for motherboard firmware update, incl betas
- Test for GPU damage by halving its clocks and see if it runs (albeit slower FPS); if successful, double/halve clocks until you can reliably recreate/aver the issue and send in for warranty exchange
