Okay, so i could play for 2 Days straight without a crash, 10 hours of gametime in total. What worked for me was this: i downclocked my gpu by roughly 30 mhz. Kinda weird, but its not affecting my gpu’s abilities in a noticable way, so im fine for now.

I know that many players have issues with overheating, however, its not the case in my rig. Afterburner is installed, fan is set to max, temperature is alright. Driver still crashes.

I have the same GPU (a GTX 470) and the same problem. The only way i can run GW2 for longer than half an hour without crashing (and, mind you, it WILL at some point) my drivers is:
- by deactivating frame limiting (its great for keeping my gpu cool, but also for crashing my drivers)
- downthrottling my GPU (its not overclocked, now its even underclocked)
- increasing voltage via afterburner
- shutting off steam
- never playing with shaders on high

So, yeah. It sucks. My GPU never gets above 90-95°C while gaming (and only under great stress), so i dont feel like that overheating is the problem. And yes, i tried setting antialiasing to application controlled, im using the beta driver et cetera, all to no avail. Its.. frustrating.

And uhm i already checked my RAM with memtest for roughly 5 hours, no errors.
