Guild Wars 2

I’m having a black screen crash, but its because the Graphic card is overheating. If I try to run this game at 1980×1080 the temperature of the card shoots up past 90 c. I think the card shuts down at about 95 c to prevent damage. I think something is fubar in the graphics code. The graphics ain’t THAT spectacular to be causing such heat.

When I play Star Wars The Old Republic at 1980×1020 everything set to high, my graphic card ( radeon 5770 HD) max’s out at about 82 c. When I try to play GW2 at 1980×1020 with the quality set to auto detect, the card gets so hot it crashes to black screen. The only way I can play the game is to set the resolution to 1280 × 72 and set the the display to 16 bit color and set the quality to performance. Then the card hovers around 80 c.

What in the world is the game doing that is causing that much heat? My graphics driver is updated and I’ve opened my computer to make sure there was no restricted air flow to the the graphics card.

I just bought Gw2 and have had a fit trying to register the game. I used to have Guild Wars, but haven’t played the game in years. It would not let me register GW2 and I do not remember anything about the Guild Wars account and no longer even have the box game. So in order to register GW2 I had to create a new email account.

THIS IS BROKEN. Your support page requires all types of information that I don’t even remember e.g., my characters name. How in the world can I fix this so I can use my regular email address? If I’d have know it was going to be problem I’d have never bought this.
