Video Card Driver consistently crashing (BlueScreen)

[Rhindas]

I'm having a blue screen problem with FFXIV and exclusively FFXIV that crashes my video driver while playing and forces a restart. This only happens in the below described locations, at least so far that I've noticed since playing since Phase 2 Beta. Sometimes I am able to Alt-Tab and continue playing the game, but this is extremely rare.

When the problem occurs, my screen goes black and makes a buzzing sound and I have to force restart my computer. When it comes back online, it will say Windows recovered from a blue screen error. Uninstalling and reinstalling the game, uninstalling and reinstalling video card drivers, updating all system updates, running as admin, updating directX, playing on the lowest graphics settings, disabled antivirus...all of these have been performed and have had zero effect. This occurs with no other game in my library.

Time & Frequency: Without exception, any time I run Wanderer's Palace, Amdapor Keep. Frequently occurs in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks. Rarely in South Shroud near Camp Tranquil
World name: Sargantas
Character name: Selawyn Kludra
Class/Level: Scholar 50 currently but occurs on any job/class
Party or solo: Both, where applicable
In-game time: Most recently was around midnight Eorzea time I think, sometime around 8PM EST, in Wanderer's Palace, but happens all times of day
Area and coordinates: Most frequently happens on bridges in Upper Limsa, but can occur anywhere in the zone (it has never crashed in Lower), only occurs on the water sections near Camp Tranquil (near the gathering points for botanist), and nearly always occurs in the large room in WP where the Tonberry Stalker walks around the square shaped room clockwise and nearly always happens entering the final boss room.

Steps:
1. The exact steps to recreate are never consistent, but will always, without exception, occur at least once in the aforementioned areas.
