Nvidia Display Driver Constantly Crashing

Hey everyone! As the topic says, when I play GW2, my Nvidia display driver will randomly crash. Sometimes it won’t happen for several hours. Other times, it happens within a few minutes of starting up the game. It occurs sporadically, and when they do occur, the screen goes black for a few seconds before reverting back to normal. This can happen several times in quick succession, and can lead to GW2 becoming completely unresponsive, forcing me to exit out and reconnect.

This is becoming a real hassle, as it has happened in dungeons and during world boss events, making it impossible to claim the rewards at the end.

My GFX card is a GTX 260M. It’s pretty old, but I can play games like Far Cry 3, Skyrim, and Dishonored just fine. In fact, GW2 is the only game that has ever had this issue. The GPU temperature never exceeds 75 C, so I can’t imagine overheating being the problem. I have also ran several display driver versions, including 340.43, 337.88, and an earlier version. However, the same problem occurs for all of these drivers.

Do any of you have any advice as to what I can do to fix this? Thanks!
