I try to load up guild wars and generally, in about a minute to a minute and a half, it cuts off and warns me that some sort of hardware failure has happened.
Then it links me to this page:
http://www.guildwars.com/support/hardware-failure.html
This has occured on everything from the main menu to the Ascalon downloading. I have yet to get farther than that.

I have an incredibly good computer, I built it myself back around christmas time. Athlon 64 3500+ (OC'd from 2.2 to 2.4) SLI motherboard, 6800GT (overclocked to above ultra speeds) insanely fast ram (currently running at 218mhz 2-2-2-5 @1t.) Western Digital Raptor harddrive, the works.

I know its overclocked, however, I'm also very aware that my computer is compltely and entirely stable. I was playing UT2004 on it yesterday for a good 5 hours, and then played some half-life 2 deathmatch last night as well for a few hours. - Both of which I belive require more system resources than Guild Wars at 1024x768 with no AA or AF could possibly manage.
(The fact that I run my games at 1280x1024 minimum also makes me wonder)

I know what the site is saying could be wrong, however.

I know i'm not overheating, my temp sensors may be off by a good 10-15c, (Fault of the motherboard) but 50c isn't a temp it would be considered overheating anyway. My airflow is fine, and my absolutely gigantic CPU-fan has never caused any problems before.
My CAS latencies (2-2-2-5 @ 1t) are completely stable, I really don't feel like messing with em, I've even ran memtest86 and such and they haven't found any problems.

My power supply is more than adequate (480w) - I know i'm not using all of that up either, theres just no way. That amount of power should allow me to be set for when i throw in another 6800GT (quite a while from now).

The only hardware issues i've had recently involve my soundcard, but i doubt that would cause an error of that sort. (Stupid Creative *grumble*) I also recently downloaded the drivers for that thing as well - Since then, i haven't had any issues with it.

Anyone have a clue why it could be saying stuff like this? Every single other game on my computer, Doom 3, Half Life 2, Chronicles of Riddick, Pirates, even lower end ones such as the original Dues Ex and Heroes 3 are completely stable. The only game I own that isn't stable happens to be Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, but that is another fault of my soundcard. (If i turn the soundcard off, it runs fine)

Anyone have a clue how to step around this? anyone came across it?
