there seems to be a problem with compatability with ArenaNet's last update and SP2. I don't think anyone knows for sure what it is...Alot of people have theorized that it's the AMD XP Architecture....which doesn't seem to be a bad theory. ArenaNet has asked that everyone experiencing freezing issues after the last update report the problem

I did report it... at first I wasn't even using SP2... they told me to update.. and update my drivers.. didn't really help.

okay.. problem fixed..... I had to change my AGP aperture size in BIOS to my video card size... and lower my AGP speed to 4x and disable Fast Write... maybe this can help some people...?

how did you do that? I managed to get past auto-reboot and I can last approximately 15 seconds in game before it freezes... no alt tabbing, just frozen
