Alright, so I think I have figured out at least the general testing direction for this bug. It is NOT caused by overheating.
The hard reset bug with the ASUS G7 series notebooks is caused when an event begins nearby and you join it. If you are alone and running around the world, etc, the computer NEVER resets. However, as soon as some event starts up and other people are nearby joining it etc, the chance of a hard reset is around 70% (according to my research).
PLEASE fix this as I have to run away from every world event in order to keep my G7 series ASUS laptop from hard resetting. Thank you.
Ran GW2 in windowed mode and GPU was only 72C when laptop hard reset. Arena Net, please fix this problem as GW2 is unplayable!!
I have the same ASUS aaptop with the same problem – I can play anywhere from 15 min to an hour and the laptop will hard reset – I check the GPU temp at reset and it’s around 60C. This same thing was happening to me when I played the beta and I told Arena Net about it, but it seems like they are just saying thay my computer has “dust” in it – lol, umm…no. I play SWTOR and Diablo 3 at max settings and sure, the computer gets warm, but this is a GW2 problem and not my computer.
I underclocked everything and it still happens – I will try disabling certain graphical features to see if anything helps, but this is probably a bug with the game (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M) is the card I have

Me too – brand new top of the line ASUS laptop with vents bigger than Michelle Obama’s butt. Random hard resets – this game has a major problem and arenanet’s silence is only confirmation as these gaming laptops are EVERYWHERE and this problem is systemic – just look at this thread.
