Five crashes and BSOD after new patch (Fixed)

Since the patch, I’ve had five crashes (before even being able to log in) and my first BSOD in five years (yes, five years). Seriously, I don’t even know how you guys manage to do it.

I managed somehow to be able to log in before, but the game crashed about 30 minutes ago when I tried to guest another server and since then I just keep getting nonstop errors before even being able to reach the character screen.

I included the error log file as well. I’ve checked it and it doesn’t make much sense to me. I did notice this line appearing in every crash though:

Assertion: Unable to execute patch file ‘H:\Spel\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.tmp’
File: ..\..\..\Engine\Patch\Patch.cpp(321)

As it suggests that it hasn’t the required access to it or something.

As for information:
Everything in my PC is up to date. Audio, Graphic card you name it and I’ve never had this much problem with the game before the patch. I’m logged in as Admin and I guess that’s pretty much it.
Also, I have reported every crash with a note.

Please for the love of god tell me you’re familiar with this problem and you’re currently fixing it. Because if I get another BSOD cause of this game, I’m going to go bananas.
