  1. An> @Leamas.5803 said: EXACTLY!! On top of what you listed, I've also tried (Was getting desperate and grasping at straws): Disabling various features in the BIOS that I don't use, such as RAID controllers Tried many different versions of video drivers, mostly minimal installs, to see and one was more stable than another (Which was the case). Various windows security settings that I no longer remember Swapping to a different KB/mouse combination (Cheap test) Changed the monitor (Wanted a bigger one) Changing all the memory (Had some dead stuff, so was a free replacement) Had the PSU load tested (3 times) Brought it to the shop and left it with them and they stress tested various things for an entire week. Found nothing. Reinstalled Windows and tested GW2 on a "clean" install...twice Moved Windows and GW2 from a HDD to a SSD and moved the system drive to a different port on the MB. Removed all USB attached devices, other than the mouse and KB Ran GW2 with the repair option to validate the file cache I'm sure I did other things that neither you or I mentioned as well, but it's been some time. My conclusion ultimately was two forked, 1. "Something" in the machine was just flaky AND 2. GW2 is doing "something" (Be it a bug, or rarely used functionality) most other applications do not and that is triggering a crash. I did NOT try a new video card or replacing any other hardware other than what I've already listed. I could not justify the cost for the sake of a single game since the computer still to this day, now nearly 5 years old, has no issues in any other game or application other than GW2. That has been the case since I bought the computer new in 2012...so it is not hardware degradation. Also most hardware stress test does not perform complex testing - i.e. simultaneously CPU+GPU+RAM+Disk and other, which would allow testing the stability of the system as a whole including power supply. It seems, in your case, being in Lion Arch acts like power supply stress test.

  4. Check system for shutdown reason: https://www.reviversoft.com/blog/2013/12/how-to-find-out-the-cause-of-your-bsod/ Try cleanup your coolers if something with overheating.
  5. Update the driver is evil - if the current driver version is OK. For example my PC is not working with current nVidia Drivers (video card reboots after 2-3 minutes), I installed an old nVidia Driver pack to make my PC work correctly, and fully disable all system/driver update on my PC to avoid such problem in future.
