I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 for well over a year now without issue and recently took a week long break. I logged on yesterday and now, after 2-20 minutes of playing, my PC shuts down, tries to restart but is unable to, and wont respond (reset and power buttons do nothing) until I turn my PSU off and on again. This issue only occurs with GW2.
The specs of my rig can be found here:

I play GW2 at 1440p with everything maxed out.
I’ve tested my system in the following ways without OCing anything:
- Confirmed that every driver and the BIOS are up to date and that there aren’t multiple drivers installed for any component
- Performed a 2 hour stability test with AIDA64 without any problems
- Played The Witcher 2 and Tomb Raider on ultra for multiple hours without issue (as well as other less resource intensive games such as Shadowrun Returns and XCOM: Enemy Unknown)
- Memtest on every stick of RAM for 3 passes each without issue (tested for 11 passes each a month ago)
- Used a PSU tester and a multimeter on my PSU to confirm it’s working fine
- Monitored temps of every component using HWMonitor and RealTemp to confirm thermals are fine
- Pulled a knife on it and berated it with saucy epithets
I’m completely bewildered by this. I searched online and found similar issues, but those seem to always be about laptops and/or overheating. Also, aside from testing my PSU in multiple ways, it’s only 2 months old. And, again, this is only happening with Guild Wars 2.
Any help or thoughts would be immensely appreciated!
