Default I'm sick of it.

Randomly dispersed game crashes plague me continuosly. I'll be playing Thunderhead Keep for example (the latest offense), when my game will suddenly stop moving, and my screen will arrange itself into rows of random colors (usually by the pixel) and randomly shift throughout the screen, nonstop 'till I reboot. Has anybody else had this problem?

It would help if you post your system specifications...

Try,

-Reinstalling Guild Wars. Some of the files may have gone corrupt and need updating again.

-Check your Graphics Card Driver. Make sure it's up to date. Check the Nvidia website for the download.

-Knock out any processes that may be affecting Guild Wars. Alt+Ctr+Del baby! Yeah, baby yeah.

You computer is almost exactly like mine...

The OP's description is sounding like a hardware malfunction. PSU maybe?

Overheating. Monitor GPU temps with rivatuner or the NVIDIA drivers. Anything near 100 C is danger.
Bad RAM -> back down any OCs, if any, and run Memtest.
