Guild Wars 2

I upgraded from 4 GB Ram to 8 GB today, while the performance has improved I get crashed every 15 minutes or so.

Any suggestions what’s wrong.

18.OSVersion: Windows 6.1 (32 bit)

Honestly I highly doubt that your seeing a performance improvement, seeing as you where not using the entire 4GB ram to start with, to use that ram you will need a 64bit OS installed.

What version of DX are you running, as according to that log its Version 8……..

But I had an 8 Gb ram installed. The DX version is 11 I saw it on dxdiag.

You won’t see real performance increases unless you change to a a 64bit version of Windows 7. Might be crashing from conflicts and such or out of memory exceptions.

You see…32 bits can represent a maximum value of 2 ^ 32… which is roughly 4GB…
Now even though you have installed 8GB ram only half of it is “addressable” by a 32-bit operating system…

64 bits can form a maximum value of 2^64 which is way more than a TB.. so moral of the story..your RAM upgrade is useless unless you upgrade your operating system.

Yep. 100% correct.

• System Memory <—*
  Physical: 1061MB/ 3327MB 31%

The error itself seems to be a permission issue. make sure you are running the game with admin privileges.

If you added memory and started getting crashes it should be obvious that that the DIMMs you added (at least one of them) are defective (no matter what any testing tells you). There is a slight chance that it is either not properly seated or one of the DIMM sockets on the MB (that was not previously in use) is causing the problem.

Per above, adding memory to 8GB and running a 32-bit OS is a wasted effort. (but a defective DIMM could still cause stability issues).
