Frequent crashing and dying due to bugs

I don't know why, but the beta client was far more stable than the release client has been for me. I have a gaming laptop running Win 8.1 x64 with an nvidia 750 graphics card.

During beta I was amazed at how stable the game client was and bought the game in part because it seemed so polished. The only real problems seemed to be server-side stuff like broken quests.

Now the release client crashes on me almost constantly. Any single hour of play time includes from 1-5 crashes regardless of what I'm doing. Running around, zoning, chatting with an NPC, harvesting, whatever...

I've updated and then downgraded my video drivers from stable to beta to stable again, but it hasn't helped.

For comparison, Skyrim plays rock solid, as do other games I play.

What can I do to fix this?

I'm also having this very frustrating problem where I'll be in the middle of a fight and suddenly I can't do anything but walk around slowly and drink potions. Attacking doesn't work, abilities don't work, ultimates don't work. Clicking the mouse buttons repeatedly does nothing at all.

The only thing that fixes it is dying or a reloadui, which takes so long it's almost certain death anyway. But on the few times I've lived through the reload, suddenly it's fine again.

    after todays patch I notice that my FPS drops to unplayable in about 5 to ten minutes in PvE and the sound starts buzzing and making squeeks, and in PVP I get one battle the FPS drops sooo bad and then I crash to have to try to log in again for 15 mins and 3 to 4 tries and I end up either dead when I get back in or back at the main base. this issue has been progressively worse and worse since day 1 of early access, I also played in beta and had issues but now the client is even worse than the beta I originally tried in feb and this is the polished lag free release I was promised

    Just to be clear, I've been having this crashing problem almost since release... not just today or recently.

    The other bug seems more recent, but it's hard to say, as maybe I just hadn't run into it before. but now it happens at least once per play session and I end up dying.
