The BSOD they are getting is in no way related to the installation of Guild Wars. I would not recommend reinstalling Guild Wars as I highly doubt that will fix the issue. Have either of you tried defragging yet?

kmixer is a .sys file used by windows, its a system audio driver kernel, but I dont know if its corrputed or it isnt meshing with the game somehow
and i deff have nforce2 chipset which i just updated the chipset drivers from files on nvidia (but without removing the old drivers first, i just wrote over them... i dont know how to find and remove all of the old drivers.........)
I am going to take your advice and defrag right now
Ill keep ya updated...

I turned off the auto reboot, but the crash still reboots the comp automatically... I've yet to actually see a BSOD.
I don't think my mobo is a Nforce config, as my case is a Shuttle (and they use their own proprietary mobos)... but you guys can probably tell better than I could at this point.
Edit: Yeah, I defragged right after uninstalling/reinstalling my ATI drivers.

Can somebody tell me how to completely remove all of the old drivers (nforce chipset and/or audio only and/or video only).
Thanks...

The problem exists for me and I don't have an Nforce chipset (MoBo is P4C800-E w/ Intel chipset). Turning off the sound also does nothing.

So I've tried everything in the thread so far, to no avail. New drivers, defragged HD, reinstalled GW, no OCd processor... I'm convinced it's gotta be something with the client, because (like the OP) only GW gives me this problem. Which is a shame, because I want to play so bad!
and a bump.

There is a little known proggy that you might use to check driver probs. I used to get the kmixer.sys error.
If you go into Start> Run and type in verifier.exe it will give you options to check non-WHQL drivers. Rather than try to explain the whole process, the info is here:

It's a bit technical. Maybe others on the board could simplify it a bit.

What motherboard do you guys use?
i had major problems during the E3 for everyone weekend last year
my pc started to turn off during playing GW.
windows was corrupt and my pc turned off after 5-15 minutes during everything i did, not only playing games.
i never thought GW had something to do with it, and i still think that.
i don't remember the exact name of my motherboard but it was an ASUS.
it stopped after i changed the power supply and motherboard, got a Gigabyte now, after 4 months of troubles (and a bad pc shop...).
never had problems again.

This Problem Is In The Client, Not My System
I have done everything i know to do, and am convinced it is a problem with the client, not my system. I ran this game in beta with no problems at all. Now at release is unplayable. If they don't fix this soon, I'll be taking my copy back.

Guys, make sure you use the support system, so they actually know about it. It seems the unstability has something to do with the client. Another machine was running fine on all the BWE until the last one, and now carried over into retail.

Are you using onboard sound or do you have a Sound Card? If so, what kind?

I've got an Audigy Soundcard. I removed it before i re-installed windows and used onboard sound with the new installation... but that didn't help.
as for graphic cards i have tried a geforce TI 4400 and a 6600 GT, both with the same results.

I'm using onboard sound, but the problem is definitely the client. I didn't get it in the first BWE that I was in, but in the last one and retail I crash all the time.

I'm conversing back and forth using the support system now. So far they just keep telling me to recheck installations and reinstall drivers. I've yet to get another reply.
This is way frustrating to pay $50 for a game and get excited to play it only to be completely unable to for seeminly no reason. If its indeed a problem with the client, I sure hope they fix it soon.
