Guild Wars 2

Ok, I’m stumped. I don’t know how this happens nor can I find a solution to it.

I have a MSI Radeon 6970 ( http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R69702PM2D2GD5.html#/?div=Overview ) latest drivers, no conflicting drivers, I’ve monitored the tempature (Doesn’t go above 65 celcius) and disabled overdrive in Catalyst.

Now I can play everything fine without crashes, even GW2. I play Battlefield 4, Titanfall BETA, Skyrim. It has never caused any problems. Now with the new World Event, Escape from Lion’s Arch my computer crashes to vertical lines and I have to do a hard reset. I can play the entire world. But the moment I enter LA my comp gives out within 10 minutes.

I don’t know what to do anymore. At the worst it’s a faulty GPU but wouldn’t that mean that my other application should crash aswell? Even heavy animations in After Effects or Maya 3D don’t cause any problems.

Ok I am quite ashamed of myself now. My previous BIOS version dated back to 2009 blushes I’ve updated it to the latest version available on the ASUS site hopefully this fixes the issue or else I am going to cry!

So far really thanks for your help muslumgurseks!

Unfortunately it crashed again…

Memtest really doesn’t turn up anything. I am now going to try muslumgurseks’s solution and I will go play. I will make an update if anything changes.

To be honest I do not believe it has caused permanent damage, since I am still able to run every game just fine. Only GuildWars is causing problems.

Ok so at this moment I am completely confused on what is wrong with my setup. Ever since I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 the final release (never had this problem during BETA) my computer is randomly dieing out on me. What happens is both my monitors turn into <insert any color here> with black lines vertically drawn across the screen. I can’t alt + tab I can’t Ctrl + Alt + Del I am just forced to manually reset my computer.

Now at first I thought it was a safety measure because at one point my BIOS gave the Over CPU-Core Tempature sometimes on start-up. So I installed a new cooler (Corsair H80 Liquid Cooler) hoping that would solve the problem. NOPE! Still died out 3 times already in 2 hours. So I am totally confused on what is causing the issue and maybe someone can shed some light on the issue.

(ps. it only crashes with Guild Wars 2 all the other games run just fine)

This is what I have tried so far:

> Monitor my CPU: Tempatures never exceed 60 celcius
> Rollback to older graphic drivers
> Replace the cooler of my CPU
> Run in lower settings
> Run with both monitors solo
> Run as administrator
> Reinstall graphic drivers

So I fear my GPU is dieing however it strikes me as odd that I could run games such as Max Payne 3, Sleeping Dogs, Starcaft II and Shogun: Total Wars II on pretty much max settings without any problems.

So as final information this is my setup:

CPU: Intel Core i7 920
GPU: MSI AMD Radeon HD 6970 Lightning
PSU: Corsair GS800 Power Supply
Motherboard: Asus Rampage II Gene
Cooler: Corsair H80 Liquid Cooler
RAM: 6GB DDR3 (3x 2GB)
OS: Windows 7 64x
