Originally posted by emperorwings No problem, I'm actually glad the thread grew and there are so many potentially useful answers for people in here. It's nice... well... not nice but you know what I mean, to see others are having the problem. Maybe if the same issues are posted somewhere like Guru, ANet will see them. Even in the event that it's a hardware issue, I think GW2 is partially to blame, since it seems people with really good systems are also experiencing the problem. As for me, it's time to turn this baby off and go dusting... no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by Quizzical Yes I believe that it was the OP was trying to get across. His computer is not giving him a Blue Screen of death.. It's not CTD it's totally retarting his computer.. I feel like it's a overheating issue, but then that tells me GW2 is running in some fashion that my computer doesn't like since this is the only game I have gotten this issue with..  PM before you report at least or you could just block. |

Originally posted by Eir_S When did this start happening to you? do you remember if you did any OS updates immediately before it started happening? I know you said your drivers are update but just in case maybe start from a fresh driver install after uninstalling all your gpu driver. Sometimes you might have dupplicate drivers maybe hidden or missed from updating drivers that might cause issues. There was a windows 7 update for me that made me not able to play games, that is why i asked if you done any os update right before having these issues. Im not sure which one though, I couldnt figure out what was wrong with my system after testing checking everything from hardware to new gpu card driver. I couldnt play anything! Almost lost my minds because my system is very new and nothing was wrong. So luckily i have everything already backed up and did a fresh OS install. no updates. played GW2 and many many other games fine and ok long stressed hours. update Win7. BOOM. gpu driver issues here and there with kernel issues. not even system restore can fix it. Had to do another Fresh install and im able to play again. After 1-2 weeks of intense playing updated win7 agan and not able to play anything. I am on my 3rd fresh install now with NO win7 update, its been about 1-2months now and no issues. Tell me its not win7 update fault? |

Just play a selection of other games for a while and see if it happens with them if it does its a computer problem if it doesn't its a GW2 client problem. If its a GW2 client problem just reinstall and see it goes away.

Actually youre game should not crash with this hardware, I have a bit worser hardware and I can stand in 100 enemies while they bash me in WvWvW, seems theyre engine working pretty good. But for some friends having same issue, i told them to reinstall the game, ppl in warhammer/tsw had same crash problems with good hardware, after reinstall it worked ...strange

Originally posted by Opapanax I'd think a memory leak would affect for more players than just a few people here and there. It's more likely that you need to blow the dust out of your laptop and set it up so that it can cool more easily. I had a similar issue with TOR. TOR just hung me there to dry after a couple of hours. I was sure it as TOR, had to be TOR, other games didn't cause this. But then later I got it on BWE3 as well. I got a cannister of compressed air and you don't want to know how much dust had gathered in my laptop over the years. After that no more issues, not in TOR not in GW2.   |
Originally posted by Vapors It was suggested to me by an ex pc-tech friend of mine to do the compressed air thing, so with that I have a lot of suggestions in this thread. I've just been watching some Netflix until the hardware store opens (I need a screwdriver)... but if nothing else works, I'll try reinstalling. The thing is, like I said I was able to play all the betas and the release for days without any problems. *shrug* I'll figure it out eventually. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

A Windows computer just spontaneously rebooting is not necessarily the sign of a hardware problem. Several years ago Microsoft made the default BSOD (blue screen of death) action a reboot. Not a blue screen. Although they may have reversed this horrible decision in Win7?

Originally posted by Eir_S yes same with my friend, he played wvwvw in betas with 20 fps, after beta 3 fps |

Originally posted by Pynda Nice, great idea. I was wondering if there was a workaround for that... obviously it's hard to copy down the blue screen code if it's only on the monitor for a 10th of a second lol no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

That's the problem though, while running two different heat monitors, one of them never got above critical level even while I was playing and the other showed one "fire" icon (meaning very hot I expect) in a list of 5 or more components. The rest were normal to low temps. Gah! It's doing my head in.

Buy a fan. I paid 6.99 for a little 120V 4" inch fan. I blow it accross my laptop and bye bye overheat (blue screens).

If you haven't already done so, limit the fps. GW2 runs GPU's pretty much flat out, so they run hot.

Originally posted by grapevine Yeah I tried 60 and I don't want to go to 30.. my FPS isn't that great to begin with. Thanks for the suggestion. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by Quizzical Either that or the system continously overheating.
Her specs are very low end.
All those people that have those problems are trying to run the game with to high specs on to low systems. Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) |

For anyone having these issues with GW2, or any other games for that matter, and are playing on a laptop I can almost guarantee it's a heating issue. The fact that you might only be experiencing it with GW2 isn't really relevant as Quiz has already stated it only takes a single game that pushes your system for you to notice the issue. In MOST cases laptops suddenly overheating are typically due to dust buildup inside the case which can be a pain to clear out if you aren't comfortable taking one apart. This is just one of the drawbacks of laptops. I am speaking from personal experience with my Asus G73JH which had the EXACT same problem described in this thread and once I took apart the case and removed the dust it was like day one all over again.
