Flashing black screen + Entire computer crash


Recommended Posts

I have several issues with GW2 crashing. This has been going on for a year or two now, usually causes me just to quit. I'd like to stick around this time, so lets see if anyone knows.

  1. The screen will flash black several times, and the sound will go away while this is happening. Then everything comes back normal, and I can continue playing. Happens randomly, found no pattern.

  2. My entire computer will freeze, and the sound goes berserk. Forced restart is required. This happens only once a day or so.

  3. Game crashes, and complains about my video card drivers.


Now, before the usual "Update your drivers" complaint, or hardware issues. A few things to note, this ONLY happens in GW2. I can even play Star Citizen on max settings with barely a hint of FPS drop, and plenty of other modern games, and heavily populated MMO's (FF14, WoW, PS2, etc).

I have also updated my drivers, and since this has been happening for awhile, I have been through several iterations of drivers. Not only that, but I reformated my entire computer, wiped it all. Which also means i reinstalled GW2 from scratch.

I have also monitored everything I can on my computer hardware wise. Temperature, voltage, etc. I have found zero faults on my computer. My computer also is a 3.2 GHZ i7, Titan X, with 32 gigs of RAM. GW2 is also sitting on an SSD. Also tried underclocking my video card even, without any noticeable difference.

Also, when it crashes, GW2 does not provide a log. I've checked the areas that their support area mentions, and there isn't anything for whatever reason.

P.S. The way this forum formats DXDiag is pretty sweet.
