TinkTinkPOOF.9201 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Restarts or crashes? If it's a crash, the PC should have a log of what/where the crash was from and give a starting point for trouble shooting.Is it a laptop or desktop? If desktop is it a premade or custom/self built? If premade what is the make/model and HW installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amityel.5324 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 thanks for your input guys but as I said mem test showed nothing wrong about my RAM memory. I got desktop my PC is Lenovo IdeaCentre H50-55 AMD Quad Core A10-7800, RAM 8GB DDR3, AMD Radeon R7 240 2GB, HDD 1TB 7200 , DVD, USB 3.0 windows 7 home premium. It is premade PC. And yes it restarts something like you just pressed restart button no bluescreen of death etc nothing.....as I said guy who tested my pc with every possible test (CPU, RAM, PSU, motherboard, GPU) he couldnt find anything wrong with HW.....we will see since he said to me he will try those tests for another 3 days and if it shows nothing again....he will try every part of my pc separately.

maddoctor.2738 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Does it happen only when you play PVP or in PVE as well? Have you tried playing with lower settings? Maybe your GPU is running out of VRAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrHome.1920 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If your PC restartes without any error, then it could also be a power supply issue.But since you said you tested that too, then it's probably something weird, I could only make a statement to, if I had access to your PC. So you need to rely on the competence of your diagnosis guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A customer returned a PC to shop again and again because it randomly restartet but every time they tested it everything worked flawlessly. Turned out the power lines in the customers house were rather old and produced some light fluctuations... a working power supply would have just ignored these but that one was just slightly damaged and only worked with perfectly stable power input, like in the shop where they tested it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your GPU is running out of VRAMit occured only in pvp match....in pve or heart of the mist it was runing falwlessly everytime till I enter the pvp match map.....I could understand maybe GPU running out of VRAM if it happened in fights but it happened a lot of times before map even started (that 1 min countdown before match starts) and yes as I said above i tried changing settings in game (lowering etc) I play gw2 from release never had this problem only on notebook and it was clear overheting back then....
