I was experiencing a crash that resulted in my screen going black, and my computer locking up. The only way to restart it was by holding the power button. ALT-TAB and CTRL-ALT-DELETE also did nothing. Eventually I discovered this could be fixed by right clicking the Guild Wars2.exe and selecting properties. Then selecting the compatibility tab. Finally check the “Disable desktop composition” box. This effectively solved the problem, and I have yet to see a crash after hours of playing as opposed to every few minutes of being logged in. These instructions are for windows 7.
