I have been playing world of warcraft on my dell inspiron 1200 for a few months and it runs perfectly smooth no problems what so ever and very little lag even in large cities but a friend of mine wanted me to join him in guildwars so i just started out with a 14 day free trial and used his disk to install it on my computer and the trial keycode to play it i get into the game it runs smooth very little lag and dosent seem to have any problems what so ever..... i can run around and play for an estimate of 20 to 30 mins and when i try to sell something or use a collector and i get the BSoD and it says a screen full of things but dosent stay on long enough for me to read it when my computer restarts it happens only in guildwars no were else i can play WOW for hours and hours and it never has happened i have no idea what could be wrong. i have read a few diffrent fourms and thaught maby it could be over heating i tried that and it dosent seem to work... i have akso uninstalled guild wars a few times and re installed it and that dosent seem to work if anyone could possibly help me it would be very thankful

the BSoD i finally stopped it so i could get the message and it talked about make sure i have atiquite Memory and continues on with how to go into safe mode and give me a technical message

Technical Message:

it has been a long known problem of guild wars that it has known "issues" with the intel integrated machines....

EDIT - All pointless rubbish :{ cannonfodder

Here you go:
http://www.intel.com/support/graphic.../cs-021196.htm
See if this is your chipset / supports your intel 900 graphics driver.

Yes mate, EternalTempest hit the nail on the head, the integrated intel graphics chip is the problem, follow his link, update and all should be fine.

llSektorll - the only valid point you made was the intel problem, the rest was just a waste of everyone's time reading it, any more rubbish like fanboyism will be deleted.

EDIT - OK your PC is a laptop, forget any idea of upgrading graphics.

Also posting the stop code(error message) from your BSOD helped greatly, all the physical memory dump does is empty your ram and pageing file of what is inside it, the majority of blue screens indicate either a hardware or driver fault or even both, in your case it's just a quick visit to the intel support site, and all should be good to go for more guildwars.
