System hard-locks on loading screens

This does not happen every single time I hit a loading screen in-game, but about 1-in-3 times it starts loading as normal, but then just slows and BAM! System frozen, hard reboot.

This is a brand new system, and I will try to get the specs up here when I get home from work. But I was just going to put this up here to see if anyone else is having this problem.

Thanks!

Looks similar to what I was envisioning. Traits are the mystery to me so far, and those make sense.

Okay, to start, I am relatively new to GW2, but not to gaming or MMOs. I get the concepts and math of the system, but also know well enough to ask the community for advice.

So, my situation is this. I like Engineer so far, despite its need for polish. Specifically, I really like the Flamethrower. My issue is that I am not a fan of massive kit-twisting. Kit-wise, I prefer to just run one, MAYBE two if the other is Med-Kit. I usually run PvE solo or in a small 2-4 person group. I might roll in some dungeons later, but I am just taking it a day at a time.

That being said, is there a Flamethrower build (probably with Rifles, but I am flexible here) that is decent (read as: Not Uber but doesn’t make me cry when I play it) along these guidelines? What would you roll with?

Thanks for the ideas ahead of time.
