Guild Wars 2

I used MSI Afterburner to underclock my BFG 295 GTX’s memory clock and core clock by 200mhz each two days ago. I have yet to crash once since doing so. I still see some odd graphic quirks like the loading screen flashing black for a split second now and then.

I saw no change in GPU temperature and a slight maybe 5 fps drop. I even spent about 4 hours in WvWvW last night and it ran perfectly. so far this is the only work around that has made the game stop crashing for me.

I seemingly managed to fix the crashing by underclocking my gpu by 200 mhz or atleast I played for over an hour with both gpu’s on my 295gtx enabled. I ran into another issue though msi afterburner seems to have put a green vertical peformance monitor graph from the top to bottom of my screen on the left side. I even uninstalled afterburner and it is still there. Could it have possibly corrupted the game files?

I have had computer lock ups/crashes since day two of early access (I didn’t play during beta or day one.) I have pretty much give up on fixing the problem myself after doing everything from driver updates, modem firmware updates, plugging directly into my modem, bios update, to port forwarding.

I just wanted to post my info and logs to help things along.

-System specs-
CPU: i7 Lynnfield 870 @2.93ghz
GPU: BFG GeForce 295 GTX (Dual PCB version)
RAM: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 @ 8gb
PSU: Kingwin Mach 1 @ 1000-watts
Motherboard: EVGA p55 FTW 200

I’m running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit installed on a SSD with the game installed on a separate drive. (WD VelociRaptor)

I’ve monitored the temperatures on my CPU and GPU. My CPU hovers around 38c while in-game and my GPU never pass the mid 50’s.

Recently, tonight I watched the game crash to desktop sort of before my monitor lost signal and the sound locked. GW2.exe *32 was using around 1.09gb of RAM and never peaked over 12% CPU usage.

I’ve only had a crash report one time seeing as I usually have to hard restart my computer. I did find a dmp file from the one BSOD error I had a week ago when I crashed.
