Default GW Crashing

So a couple of weeks ago, GW started crashing on me. Usually in the same places. I reinstalled the client, still crashed. I updated all my drivers, still crashed. I used System Restore to go back a few weeks prior, still crashed. Finally I went and reformatted the OS. I left my HD partitioned into 2 parts, (1 for my OS and programs, the 2nd for my music, games, movies, etc...) and reformatted just the partition with the OS. That worked for a bit but yesterday it started crashing again. Today it crashed 2 times in the same place in Jaya Bluffs. Any ideas? I am somewhat computer literate so I can understand alot of what you guys might recommend, but don't go totally IT on me cause I'll probably screw something up lol. Thanks!

Are you sure it's because of the place you're going? If you don't enter Jaya Bluffs does it crash after roughly the same amount of time, or does it run fine?

Ive had it frequently crash on me, often when Id identify an item, and also for no reason (occasionally also for lag)... <_<
I just figured it was my pc getting old, but apparently not?

No it does not seem to do so. I went to different areas and everything seemed to go ok.

I am getting it too. Can't really play, because I drop out in the middle of something all the time.

To the OP:

It could be a hardware failure - specifically, some area of the video card that's used in displaying GW.

Btw, you're not overclocking anything are you?
