Need more info than that. Post your system specs and exactly what happens when you crash. i.e. error messages, artifacts, beeps or similar goings on.

If your not having this issue with any other game, I think this might be an issue with your internet, but I dont know your Pc specs.

1. What windows version. or any other OS tell me.
2. do you have problems with any other MMO
3.do you have anti-spyware/virus programs, if so tell.

ok ill need to know those.

Crash after five minutes = overheating.
Probably of your graphics card, as your computer doesn't crash, only the interface.

You can try running a graphics benchmark program like 3dmark from www.madonion.com - it should crash your computer the same way within about the same time.

Check that the heatsink of your graphics card isn't completely choked with dust - graphics heatsink are very susceptible to that - and check that the fan on the heatsink works.

I have an ASUS motherboard P4S800D-X, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS OC, P4 with HT just got new thermal paste, just wiped the hard trying to fix the problem it did not go away. Every over game has run perfectly fine but guild wars will lag somewhat probably just because the character is in House Zu Heltzer but after a short while it will crash unexpectedly. I am running XP pro and have Grisoft anti virus software. like I said nothing really happens when I crash the whole computer just freezes up and I cna't do anything. if you need more info I will be back on tomorrow. - thanks for the help
