Well i figured out that is isn't a hardware error thank god.
In the configurationscreen of vista there is a program calld something with loyability and performance? there you can see what went wrong and so on, also the hardware errors and every time windows shuts down with a bsod there wasn't a hardware error.
so it has to be a software error, but what?
latest bsod: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
i think it's my CPU, my CPU fan is running overtime, it's making such noice!
gw.exe error?

It's either a bad stick of RAM, a bad device driver or a bad program (Panda AV has thrown up this error before now).

i think (and hope) that i solved the problem...
Yesterday i got blown away with 5 to 6 BSOD in a time of 20 minutes or so.
When i turned it one the last time, a really scary smell came out of my case and then whoesj, smoke!
My pc didn't turn on anymore so i opened up my case and saw that my Fan Controller had burned out. I unplugged it, turned my pc on and haven't got a single BSOD so far. *knocks on wood*
We'll see how this goes.

How on earth could a fan controller make your computer have BSODs? All it does is control fan speeds - so hypothetically speaking the only way is that it was messing with your fan speeds, making them lower, which in turn made your hardware too hot, which = BSOD? I don't know.
Or again, hypothetically, it was just raising temperatures from being too hot in general, causing instability? I don't know, never heard of BSOD's from these types of things, e.g heat. Perhaps it's something specific, who knows.
Either way, good luck, kind of a freak situation if you ask me lol.

Weel maybe it was causing a disturbance in the voltage or whatever.
I'm running my pc now since 8 o'clock it's now 11.40 (in holland) whithout any BSOD...

Little update (so bumb)
Since my Fan Controller burned out i haven't got any BSOD so far, this for a whole week now.
Guild Wars doesn't give me anymore BlueScreens bu it just crashes and give me a gw.exe error pop-up.
I contacted PlayNC and they said to do the -repair command line and if that doesn't work i should remove my gw.dat file and do the -image but both of those solutions doesn't work, i replied the answer and now i just have to wait for a reply.
But if anyone has got some more tips, you're welcome to share

Well that's good news, BSOD's are no fun.
I still have no idea about the gw.exe error, I think we've went through just about everything.. maybe the game doesn't like something about your computer, I'm not really sure.

Format. Reinstall.
rancidgoat
i got it fixed.for anyone having this problem try this. go into your prodrams list like your going to uninstall the game,right click GuildWars and click uninstall, a window will pop up and you will have the option to uninstall the game or reinstall to its current location. click on reinstall to current location, it will say downloading with a progress bar. i had to do this twice the first time the progress bar stopped half way through, if this happens just do it again.

I had a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT last night. It's almost certainly a memory issue. In my case, each and every blue screen I get I assume that it's down to over-heating though.

Update:
With help of the Tech support of PlayNC we figured out it was indeed a memory error.
My module of 1gb is broken
So that same day i played guild wars for about 1,5 hours.
yesterday i wanted to play but guild wars just stopped running for no reason, i waited for about 2 minutes before i can move again.
Today the same thing happend but i was logged in for 4 seconds or so before gw stoped running, i waited for 5 seconds before i got a bluescreen of death:

0x.124 is a common one - had it myself. It seems like nobody can exactly tie down the cause. Alienware have said it can be cured by disabling the C1E Enhanced Halt State in the BIOS - this has worked for some people.
The majority of sufferers seem to be pinning it on a Vista/nVidia/sound issue, usually solved by latest drivers for both the nVidia card and whatever sound card you have (bet you a nickel it's a Creative - their drivers are abysmal).
Failing that, go to Microsoft's support pages and search for 0x00000124 - and join the merry throng of hundreds of disgruntled users.

I hope that this solved the problem.
