Almost guaranteed to be overheating of your CPU. If you're overclocking, decrease overclock a bit. Otherwise you have to find some way of ventilating the case better.

Or try opening up his Case and cleaning the dust out? ;x

It is probably over-heating. Are all your fans working? Clean out with no dust? And also try updating to the latest graphics card driver.

I actually think that this is a ANet problem. Since the FPE began its been happening to a lot of people.

Well it's not happening to some ppl. Played through the whole of Kurzick quests and almost all Luxon quests without a single crash. Most likely, it's system specific.

It still happening, and I know its not a heat problem.
I've updated video drivers and my directx...but after I log on, the game locks up with in 3 minutes.
Will areanet acknowledge if there's a problem? Anyone know where I can find a solution?
Maybe I should just go out and get oblivion for my 360

Yeah, I'm still waiting for Oblivion...not out in my country yet...just 2 days to go.

Just played a bit of GW last night...sorry no crashes.
