Same here!

I just bought a brand new PC:
- CPU: Intel i5 3570K
- Mainboard: Asrok Z77 Extreme 4
- RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB DDR3 Dual
- GPU: Palit GTX 660 Ti Jetsream
- SSD: Samsung 830 SSD 120GB
- OS: Windows 7 x64

Guild Wars 2 just keeps freezing my whole PC solid!
Sometimes it happens just after character-selection,
sometimes after a few minutes.
95% of the time, my monitor throws me a white screen an the sound keeps looping to a buzzing noise. If I am lucky, the monitor just doesn’t get a signal for a few seconds and restores with GW2 completely reloading all the objects/textures in game with really really low FPS. But it will still crash a few moments later unless i alt-tab an terminate GW2 quickly.

As an IT-Expert, you can bet i tried every darn thing possible.. (Clock settings, GPU Settings, Drivers, changed Hardware, yelling at my pc, etc..)

This only happens with GW2!

Other games, like Assassins Creed 3 or Skyrim HD work like a charm for hours and hours!

I even stress-tested my PC for hours:
- Memtest86 = no errors after 6 hours(!)..
- Prime95 = no errors…
- Furmark = no errors…
- 3dMark11 = no errors…
- OCCT = no errors…
- I even had all the above running simultaneously where possible = NO ERROR! NONE!

My Conclusion: GW2 HAS a nasty bug which could cause my hardware to die from all those freezes and Hard-Resets.

I won’t play anymore until there is a solution!
