I don’t have time to write down the code. The computer BSOD’s then it starts a crash memory dump counting down from 100. The blue screen is up for about 5 seconds and then the system reboots.
Oh and another thing to note, I did check the logs as Alpha Dragon suggested and for every error crash it would say “computer shutdown unexpectedly” or “fatal hardware error- detected by processor”. I’m not a computer expert when it gets that technical.. what component could be going wrong?
I did run memtest on my old RAM.. came out to 100%. I bought new RAM anyways just because I wanted 2x 4GB instead of 3×2GB. I use windows 7 64 bit, and yes sorry I do mean the 650 watt, here is a link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207007.
I built the computer in March of 2011 so about a year and a half, a little under. Also I have run chkdsk, and I installed tuneup just to use their test to check the HDD.
I’ll have to try and run prime95. But one thing that I have been told by plenty of friends is that 650W should definitely be more than enough to run my setup.
Nothing else was running in the backround.. I use it for school so the only programs I have installed are BitDefender, Google Chrome, engineering software, and GW2 (litterally). I will check the logs though.
Alright.. I changed everything to low and limited the FPS to 30 and it crashed 3 minutes later.. that’s a new record!
Alright.. but if this matters, I had my friend lend me his old GPU (Radeon 5770) and it would still crash, but I am still tweaking with it all now.
I have not yet tweaked any of the ingame graphics settings but I average about 35 FPS while playing.. I will try that though
To begin, I have already searched the forums for similar topics but if this issue has been addressed previously I apologize in advance.
Blue Screen error- Memory dump (or something along the lines of that)
Back to my problem- blue screening when playing, I have no idea what the problem is, but I think it’s safe to say that it’s Guild Wars 2. I have ran numerous tests on my RAM, CPU, HDD, GPU, calculated a wattage for the PSU, and even bought a new motherboard. Here’s a list of what I have:
AMD x6 Thuban 1100T
Radeon HD 6870
XFX 650W PSU
ASUS m4A87TD motherboard
Western Digital 1TB Blue Edition
8GB Kingston Hyperx 1600 MHz RAM
I even checked to see if the CPU, GPU, or the motherboard were overheating and they weren’t. I’ve tried running GW2 in compatibility mode. The list is endless. The funny thing is my computer handles more advance programs on a daily basis, AutoCAD, 3dsMax, Intventor, etc. The thing is it only crashes while running GW2. Please help as I love GW2 and would love to play without crashing every 15 minutes!
EDIT: all drivers are also up to date
