Random Crashing

My client randomly crashes, in random places at random times. Normally, it's after an hour and a half to two hours of playing, but there seems to be no real pattern. When it crashes, I get the pop-up which asks if I want to send an error report or not. I dunno what's going on. Someone please help.
(It's the Gw.exe error.)

Thanks.

the last time that happened to me my video card was going out. % would suggest that you take it and get the hardwear checked. Also try running gw on the lowest visual quality possible and if it's a laptop makesure you get one of those under fan thingies. It does help.

Can you post your system specs and temperatures? (HWMonitor is a good, easy to use, free temperature monitoring program if you need to download one)...

Those temps are rather high for a 9500GT, that might well be the problem. Are those the temps at idle or the temps under load?

In any case, i would strongly suggest opening up your computer and remove any traces of dust you can find.

One last thing, have you tried running other games to see what happens.

temps are pretty high if that's idle, if it's during a game, that's ok, higher then I would like, but not overly dangerous.
