This only seems to happen when i play gw, the game seems to freeze, then the screen fuzzes and looks like torn shreds of confetti, the computer restarts and when it goes back on in says windows has recovered from a serious error, guild wars disconnects uncleanly and i can go on playing as i was, but i fear for my computer
Anyone know how/why this happens and what i can do to fix it?

Did You Try Reinstalling Gw?

Sounds like a graphics error, is there any logs or information that you can find out from the crash?

Please post your computer's specs as well, that will help.

I get this alot aswell.

If you have an ATI graphics card, make sure you have the correct driver, because that is probably the main reason

Dunno if it happens on nVidia cards, but i get it alot with my ATI card.

hope this is usefull to ya :/

Yeah it may be likely that this could be resolved by updating/rolling back drivers, but that's why I need to know their hardware, it will go a long way in resolving this.

Disabling the Automatic restart to get the blue screen code and file will help immensely.

Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Startup and Recovery click Settings
Under System failure uncheck Automatically restart
