well i thought u guys helped....it was working good for a week or so and now its starting to freeze after 10 mins of playing again

just incase ur wondering again i have a nvidia geforce 7300gt

just restart your computer

Instead of insulting the community for trying to help why don't YOU learn how to maintain a computer.

Hmm, i think perhaps you are jumping the gun a bit here, i dont think hes insulting the community just saying - You guys helped me out before and it worked but now its gone funny again...

Guild wars freezes do tend to be graphics related but could also be down to loads of other problems, how old is your pc? What was the last thing you installed? When was the last time you defragged?

my comp is about 3 yrs old, last thing i installed was another game, i havent defraged ina while....ill do tht now

Run CCleaner, then defrag.

It would be good if you could briefly list what you tried already, so we don't go over the whole thing again...

Hmm at 3 years old i'd say its just a bit clogged up, try a good defrag, if that doesnt work uninstall the last game you installed and if all else fails i'd say its probably time for a spring clean - i.e. a reformat.

well as dual posts re lagg .since cantha weekend thats when I experianced

the Lagg and never cleared ... my computer runs well and runs perfect for

any other mmorpg ect.

My other post explains it all..freeze 1

I have to add that my PC is locking up with "IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL" blue screen of death (and some time give reference to NV_4<something>.DLL, that would be a part of Nvidia Drivers) after about 15-20 minutes in GW. This is only game to give me this issue (Crysis and Bioshock are fine, to name a demanding few). It started after Feb 21 update, so something got screwed up there. I have NV 8800 GTS, latest drivers (169.21), brand new MB and rest of the system (2 GB ram, Dual Core Duo, etc...) (about 4 month old)
and all was working perfectly fine before this update. I got lucky(2) and unlucky(2) over Cantha NY, so I know it was fine then for 3 days in a row :-)
It does lock now at various places, mostly at loading screens between areas.

I guess I'll submit a support request, as I am not able to play anymore...

Please post the exact STOP code (it will start like 0x00) along with the exact file name referenced.

It sounds like you need to uninstall the drivers and then use a program like Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper.

169.25 is the latest, at least, that is what I have.

I installed CpuIDLE Extreme and pretty much fixed the issue completely, I got BSOD once in past week, compare to BSOD every 20 min or so without CpuIDLE.
so it is nothing to do with drivers, it just overheating the CPU. Just wondering why GW is overheating it and none of the modern games that require more power do that? That would be a question to developers.
And I guess I need to buy a new super-duper-copper-water-pelter-cooler
