First thing we need to do is see what these errors are! When these crashes occur, you should view the details before closing and find out what went wrong. Could you please post your crash log or if you can’t find that one, post the arenanet.log. (my documents/guild wars 2) If you can export as a .txt, you can attach it using more posting and formatting options below the input box. (then you won’t have to copy and paste segments and miss vital info)
Don’t assume it’s hardware failure yet!
Please post the rest of your specs, particularly, CPU, GPU, free hard drive space.
Sure, my spec is:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k @ 3.40 GHz (overclocked to 4.7 according to the company I bought from)
RAM: 8gb
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670
HDD: Samsung 840 Series 250GB SSD (153GB free, I have GW2 installed on this if that makes a difference) & 2TB SATA HDD (1TB free)
It’s probably important to note that I copy and pasted GW2 file from my old PC to my new one. I didn’t question it at the time and this may be incredibly stupid on many levels but would it affect the game if it was downloaded on a 32bit OS and then copy and pasted to be played on my new 64bit OS?
I’ve attached that ArenaNet file also, I dunno how to provide the file for the crash I had 5 minutes ago.

I’m thinking 2 possible issues:
Hardware failure – memory most likely. How much memory do you have and are the other games you run memory intensive or not? To be honest, the only way to test this is to replace the memory (or run a low level memory test….some motherboards have these built in, but there are free ones you can download).
GW2.EXE corrupted. If you have an old backup (from before you started seeing this issue), you could try to restore the GW2.EXE file. Your best bet is to uninstalled GW2 completely and re-install it.Hope these give you some direction to go in.
I have 8gb RAM and 64 Windows 7. I’m not sure if the other games are intensive, but I play DOTA 2, DayZ and Arma 3 outside of GW2 and they run fine. I’ll try the reinstall tonight or something, cheers.
In the past few patches I’ve been having more and more problems running GW2, it constantly brings up error messages about the game being unable to continue running and occasionally it’ll straight up crash to desktop. I can’t even enter the new Bazaar zone for longer than 5 minutes because it’ll just crash completely. What’s weird though is that even though I get error messages saying my game is unable to continue running, it still works fine and I can drag the window off my screen and continue playing, the only problem is that it’ll just spam more and more of them until my game crashes. Every other game on my PC runs fine, it just seems to be GW2 that runs like a sack of kitten. What gives?
I kinda like the competition, it’s funny. I always wait for people before initiating if I see them nearby but otherwise I like racing around the map grabbing spawns (it’s not even hard if you know their locations and when they last spawned) and maximizing my profession’s capabilities (Guardian) to do it faster than everyone else, it’s kinda like the finale of GW1’s Dragon Festival with the celestial charges; people rushing around trying to beat everyone else and stack up their gifts.
On a side note, I also like how the drop rates of these boxes are actually reliable. One thing I loved in GW1 was finding areas to farm and creating builds around them, GW2 lacks hugely in that department (why farm the world when you can just run COF?), but farming these coffers at the moment is a lot like GW1 and I hope ANet makes the rest of the world this lucrative at some point.
