The second the game loads after I hit “Play”
The game loads up, I see my character selection screen for a couple seconds then it crashes.
I get a small windowed mode of GW2 (just the borderline of the window,) and I can hear the character selection screen music in the background, an error window pops up that says
“Guild Wars 2 detected a possible hardware malfunction. This may be due to a faulty or overheating processor or memory chip. The application will now terminate.”
and this webpage is opened http://www.guildwars.com/support/en-hardwarefailure.php
I can get the game to load 1 out of 20 times and I can play for hours without a single problem at all. I usually just leave GW2 alt tabed so I don’t have to re-launch it, but when I reboot my PC I have to try over and over to get GW2 to load.
I had the latest video driver – same problem.
I was recommended trying v304.79 – same problem.
Someone suggested underclocking my PC – same problem.
