I was playing Guild Wars (Factions) and I was starting the Naphui Quarter Mission. As soon as it went to enter the mission, I got a blue screen saying Windows had to shut down, blah blah blah. Happened several times at this exact same place. Important information:

code:
File causing problem: ialmdev5.dll

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

***STOP: 0x00000050
***ialmdev5.dll - Address BF04963 base at BF043000, DateStamp 00000000

More specifically:

code:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The file causing this error is ialmdev5.DLL

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer.
If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you ahve adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

It's an driver issue, witch can be caused by a number of reasons incuding overheating. I whould try updating your sound and graphics drivers. From what i have seen from NCSofts games, they are exteramly senstive to drivers and only seem to work well on the newest versons.

From readning the error a bit more it looks like it is the mother borad cuasing the problems, or at least your driver for it. It also seems you have an intel mother borad i whould sugested going to the intel website or your computers manfuctors website and geting the lastest drivers for your mother borads chipset.

To get more information about what motherborad you have, boot in to the bios and it should say the mother borad information in there to some extent.
