Hardware Failure Detected
 
Good grief, this has become rediculous.  I had this issue with Guild Wars, having to bypass this stupid non-existent error with command line arguments.  Using -dsound -dx8 & -oldauth.
 
None of my hardware is OC'd, my CPU is running fine and every other game works great, even ran Prime 95 and it passed with flying colors, recently bought new Corsair Vengeance RAM.  My 750w PSU is great, plenty for my system, nothing is overheating and all are stable at low temps.
 
And here I am again, having the same issue with GW2, must be something on their end detecting false BS, preventing me from playing.  Anyone know or have a solution to this or are experiencing the same problem?  I've contacted ANet live tech support in the past for GW and not once did they ever refer me to those command line arguments, so I doubt they'd be any help with GW2.

    I love how they try and make it sound like their game is more hardware intensive than the others.
     
    I am think they are not coded for the newest hardware yet, AKA your GTX 680, I use to get unknown hardware errors with my 275 when it first came out and same with my 5850.

    That is possible, as Guild Wars was running fine until I bought the 680, then I started getting this error.  Those codes allow me to log into GW, but don't work for GW2, there is no support website for GW2 yet, so I'm contacting NCSoft to see what they say if anything.
     
    Its just horrible that this issue still persists with a new MMO built for this new hardware.  If anything I won't be able to play this beta weekend{ARGH!!!} and will have to wait until the next one{whenever that will be...} after completing my new build.  As long as I get an Ivy Bridge come Sun, then it should be complete a few days later.

    Yup, did so and still have and same issue.  Tried XP compatibility mode, and again same problem.  Finally got into the beta forums and I've found a few other threads with people having the same issue as I.

    Well ain't this something!  Turns out it was RTSS that was causing GW2 to give me this warning.  Odd considering I was getting a hardware warning and not software.
     
    And guess what uses RTSS ~ EVGA Precision X ~
     
    Once I close Precision down GW2 fires right up with no problem, then after in game I can restart it with no ill effect....LOL
