How actually did you try to log in in other PCs? Did you install GW2 separately or did you copy your installation to other PCs just to watch them crash over and over?
It sounds like that you downloaded a corrupt installation, and my guess is that if you copied it on other PCs, it just wouldn’t work as it’s not working on yours.
I redownloaded the client off guildwars2.com on the new PC. I didn’t do any copying of the files. It was a fresh installation.

No, I have done no overlocking on this PC.
There really is no point in being able to change your class when you can just make a new character instead. If you’re a level 80 warrior and change to an elementalist, you’re going to be sent back to level 1 anyway. (What? Did you think spending your whole life training as a warrior is going to make you automatically awesome at casting spells?) So now you’re completely naked since you can no longer wear your high level armor, you have no weapons for your class, and you’re level 1. Why not just make a new character to begin with?
You’re not the only one with this problem. I’ve had the same issue for weeks watching each new character I make become unselectable and crashing after a few days of play. I’ve tried just about every fix that has been suggested, even tried logging into my account on a completely different computer, and the game still instantly crashes after selecting that character.

Am I the only one who found a way to break their characters all computers?

After playing for several days with no crashing issues at all, I am now experiencing a crash during the load screen every time I select a certain character to play. My other characters load into the world fine with no issues. I checked to see if could log into my account and load my character using a friend’s computer, and his game crashed as well, even though he hasn’t had any previous issues and is using completely different hardware. Customer service has only suggested fixes dealing with my client, such as:
-Deleting and reinstalling the client
-Running the Guild Wars 2 -repair tool
-Deleting Local.dat and GW2.tmp
-Removing old drivers and updating to beta drivers
-Changing various graphics options in the game
None of these have done anything to resolve the issue. Recently, a second character succumbed to the load-crashing and can’t be selected without crashing the game. That charaacter is also confirmed to crash on other PCs, while my remaining characters work fine.
My level 25 warrior is located in Divinity’s Reach
My level 42 Guardian is located in Blazeridge Steppes.
Below are the specs for my main PC that first experienced the issue. And the crash report I get now any time I try to select the character.
