25 minute mark and CPU is under 35C. GPU is right around 65C. I’ll continue testing and keep you updated. I think the huge amount of ambient heat inside the case from the GPU being at 80C’s cause it to shoot up even with my Hyper 212+ running at 100% so I’m still hesitant to call it temps.
Thanks for all of your help!

Okay so, the issue is that your computer is either restarting or shutting down after increasing the voltage. Now i’m assuming temps for cpu/gpu are within range so that can be eliminated. The problem with stress tests is that the power draw is being capped by the gpu drivers due to poor quality vrms on many units so isn’t always a reliable psu test.
Whilst the CX-500 does actually pump it’s specs (just about) you will be pushing its limits being 2 years old (~20% degradation) with the overclock on both cpu/gpu – the extra voltage now causing the restarts is a prime symptom.
MMO’s seem to draw the most power from any game in my experience. On one of my rigs recently swtor finished off a 18month old TX650 and that was only with a overclocked cpu/gtx460 and 5drives….I would reconsider checking there.
Stress tests max the components out to stress the card. Would that not mean (especially in Furmark/Prime95) that it would be pulling as much as it can to power it? It’s what I’ve learned to do to test the PSU when I don’t have the supplies or extras on hand.
I did a stress test with both Prime95 and Furmark. I watched the temps climb to about 85 for my CPU and about 80 for my GPU. Freaked me out so I shut the tests off. I am going to watch the temps in GW2. Shouldn’t be the problem as I play much more demanding games… Well if it is its only a couple $$ to buy a couple of fans (or maybe $$$ to buy a liquid system). Didn’t even consider temps as I have done individual tests and played stuff that cripples cards much more powerful than mine. Will update after I test it. Might not be until tomorrow.
(Edit) 15 minutes in and temps are nowhere near bad.

If you’re getting bsod’s it is not a software bug, its either hardware or drivers. How old is the PSU? Also is your cpu overclocked in addition to the gpu?
I’ve had antivirus software give me BSODs. I have also had various software give me BSODS (CS5 was a frustrating example). A simple reinstall with CS5 and a different antivirus fixed the problem. Not to mention I have tested my computer in pretty much every single way possible. Any other game works just fine (Crysis, Crysis 2, BF3, Batman Arkym Asylum, Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age II, Just Cause 2, etc). And I’m not getting BSOD’s anymore, GW2 is causing my system to reset (shutdown and restart) after I put in more voltage. Still rock solid in every single other application.
Power supply is from Corsair, is two years old, and should have enough power to run what I have for another 2-3 years. Plus if it was the problem stress tests would be making the system do the same thing. The CPU is not the problem: tested it with Prime95 for two hours and it was fine. Its unlocked but the unlock is very stable: I run Prime95 for 4 hours twice a month to make sure.
I would be willing to consider it was my PC if any other applications were having problems but that’s just not the case.
i started geting 10 frames in the human starting area caveren this is really sad can some one please help me
What’s your CPU?
Glad I’m not the only one. Maybe means this is a software bug… Is there a repair feature like on WoW?
(Edit) Looked through the folder and found nothing.

I posted this question on another, techie forum and decided to see if you guys know any solutions. I love the game, but I am really tired of it crashing. The problem is posted on this thread:

I highly doubt it’s my system…
