I don't think it is, cuz the OP is running Intel.
As for temps, I ran Motherboard Monitor and my CPU isn't getting any hotter than it does normally... it's actually a lot cooler than when running CoH or Doom 3. I'm talking to Tech support too... we just passed phase one (send them DxDiag info about my computer). Let's see where it goes from here. |

I have the Same Problem Everyone is having .. Can play anywhere from 5 - 20 minutes in the Field.. However, Can stand in a town untill the next game comes out. dunno why this is, wish i knew.
I have a Freeze at first, Cant kill the screen or refresh the screen so i can send a report. restarting the game (Without Restart If I Can) leads to only a faster crash, resulting in a computer restart. have hardware monitor for cpu/video .. neither which are hot. side case cover - removed for awhile now. did the update of drivers .. EVERYTHING! computer specs almost identical as the quote - AMD 2600+ (even underclocked it to a 2400+) Giga-Byte GA-A7N400 Pro2 Rev. 1.00 Bios F11 (Nforce2 Chipset) 120 Gb Maxtor 7200RPM 1 Gb PC3200 400Mhz ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128Meg @ 8x setting -1024x768 .32 bit color SoundBlaster Audigy2 5 Case Fans <-- sounds like a Jet Taking off when starting up.. LOL 580W Power Supply only last thing i have not tried yet, breaking out my 80 gig drive with no OS and loading XP. trying that with all normal drivers and only GW. if that dont work, then im totally clueless. |

Everybody here with an athlon64 (in the 1 case regular amd) system is having problems. It's a glitch with the game when it messes with the processer. That sucks hardcore....

I have just played 8 hours straight without crashes. I disabled my second monitor, that somehow fixed it (though that makes little sence to me)

I am noticing a constant in a lot of these posts, a lot of people are running amd chipsets, and audigy 2 soundcards, as I am.......What I am disappointed in is the fact that this is a pretty widespread problem, and that the developers have not put out a hotfix for this. I spent almost 85.00 for a collectors edition game that won't run for more than 15 minutes at a time. Not to mention tech support is almost completely nonexistent. If this is not fixed or at the very least, acknowledged as a problem with a promise of a fix, this will be the absolute last game I buy from NCSoft and Arenanet. The same files keep crashing, the files causing this have been identified, and the reports to the DEV's have been sent repetitively. They can not say at this point that they are "unaware". They could at least have some reasonable communication avenues to address these problems........but they don't.................................I run every other game I own including EQ2 on high settings, with no problems. No reason this should be so unstable at release..................................

I agree there is so many ppl having problems they know!!! I want to play my game with out crashes. It's not my computer! I have no problems with any other games. They should have known this problem all ready. I like the game now only if I could play longer then 5-30 mins long and switch my weapons with out crashes, or delete my weapons or sell my weapons.... errrrr! What fun can a game be if all it does is crash

Well i just spent a few hours formatting my PC. Installed every driver from the net so its the newest possible.
10 mins into my GW session and bam, it froze up requiring my to pull the power again :\ Im 100% sure its a problems with GW, i've played EQ2 and WoW for 6 months without a single crash. I even tried taking out my SB Audigy 2 as some guy suggested, but no joy. Im baffled now, i guess we have to wait until they patch it. Or at least reply to my support requests. |

Hey all. I'm having the same problem as well: game crashes, PC restarts, a single tear rolls down my cheek, etc.
The bitch of it is, I jumped the gun and bought a new ATI card that I couldn't exactly afford, and now it looks like it the problems lies elsewhere... oh, woe is me. My wallet weeps. Hope they get this problem fixed soon. I tried looking for information on it, but the official site doesn't offer much in terms of tech support. Hey, has anyone gotten any type of official reply to this problem? Or is it more of a general stonewalling? Or maybe they're just really busy... I suppose that's a possibility. As I said, I hope this gets fixed pretty soon. I logged in today for a minute, and before the game crashed, I noticed my poor Warrior/Elementalist was sitting in a rocking chair and knitting a wool afgan. My necro is currently in councelling; apparently, he has abandonment issues, and the session fees are bleeding me dry. |

You're absolutely correct, to an extent. It seems like the problem to me is the Sound Blaster Sound Cards. Trust me on this, here's my story: I bought a Dell computer about three years ago and after around 6 months I upgraded the video card and sound card. Ever since I did, I've been having this same problem, I'll be playing a game, surfing the internet, listening to music...and my computer will automatically restart. So a few months go by and I save up some money, buy a new processor (switched to amd), new motherbord, and new RAM. Same problem. A few more months go by and I purchased a new Nvidia graphics card and a new hard-drive. And to my surprise...same ****ing problem. I've completely ruled out voltage issues or heat because the power supply in my old Dell case is the same voltage in my brand new Asus case. It's not heat because I can monitor it on my case and no matter what I'm doing it stays relatively the same. So, ever since I bought a Sound Blaster Audigy card I started to have this problem....I replaced every single piece of hardware in the computer and I'm still getting the same problem. Just a few months ago I finally decided to trash the stupid thing because the onboard audio is 5.1 surround and works just as well...and low-and-behold...the problem stops. It is NCSoft and Creative's problem. Try buying a new sound card or keep your fingers crossed for a patch. If it were me, I would just buy a new sound card. Good luck everyone. |

Reboot during PvP character creator
My boyfriend is having the same problem with rebooting, although the only place it is occuring thus far is in the PvP character creator screen. Both times he's been messing with armor colors, and it reboots without warning. I tried the same thing on my laptop (thinking it was a bug having to do with the colors he chose), but no crash for me.
He created an RP character and played for about 30 minutes without problems. We both work in QA and all our troubleshooting hasn't helped...he has latest drivers, meets the specs, etc. Has anyone else had this crash in the character creator? Also, will the GW site have its own tech forum rather than just a bunch of FAQs in forum format? Good thing we still have WoW....no problems there.

The problem for most of us isn't with a sound card, because I get the same problem as the OP and I'm using on-board sound.
The problem is with the client and AMD chipsets, it would seem... and it's something that they've got to fix. Or not. The beauty of it is that we're not paying monthly! Although having this many angry people will probably decrease expansion sales.... |

Rememdium YOU are exactly right... it is the chipsets... I've heard that a few times... so you figured it out along with others... so why doesnt GW atleast let us know they are doing something about it. I hope they do soon. I love the game and I dont want to stop playing it. Id wait a week or more if they needed to fix it NO big deal just would like to know what's going on....

this is quite a good site if you put in your ***STOP number then it will tell what will normaly cause that error and offers some ways to treat it, it is not much but i am desperate, so...it is worth a try if you are out of options like me, i am at the moment backing everything up before i format my disk .but to be honist i think it is a problem with GWs code so in case you have not done it go to support.guildwars.com and send in a report on it so they know it is happening to a few people and give them as much info as you can to help them fix it. |
