App Crashing every 15-30 minutes.

Hey, I recently purchased FFXIV: ARR, and it started off great. After a recent patch my game client keeps crashing reguardless of what i happen to be doing in game. (example, during dungeons, dutys, leves, crafting, fate grinding, and just plain standing still). I have fully updated my graphics driver (card is Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti). Im running an AMD FX-8150 with 16gb DDR3 1600mhz Ram and windows 8.1 Pro 64bit. The app crashes look like this in event viewer...

Which, based on what i see is the Nvidia Driver, However Ive rolled back to multiple different versions (from 314.22, to the current one of 335.23). Ive tested my ram, it passes memtest, My hard drive passes all tests as well, Im kinda stumpted at this point... Anyone have any ideas?

Still an on going issue, ran chkdsk and tried uninstalling completely, clearing temp, and reinstalling...

Having a similar issue after the recent update. I also have a 660. It does not crash in any other games. I tried driver rollback. The game just locks up and hangs.

Man, this is getting crazy... crashed 3 times during a dungeon, last time during the final boss (luckily almost dead) ending up in no loot for me... Anyone please have any ideas?

if u have a look at the fault module u see problem is with nvidia driver your using the way to fix it is either update driver for graphics card or install a older version of the graphics driver. its a common issue happens in most games but thats only way to fix it. seeing as issue is with the nvidia driver so gotta install a older driver or newer driver til they bring out a update to fix it.

just try each of the older drivers til u find one which works til nvidea brings out a update to fix it.

make sure u uninstall the current driver fully and restart computer before installing the driver tho

Thanks for the response! Yes ive tried about 11 different graphic drives, in between installs ive been restarting, clearing all temp with CCleaner, then restarting again before i install the different driver. So far, no luck whatso ever. I still crash 15-30 mins in, reguardless of what im doing (even just sitting in town reading chat, and it crashes). Im thinking its an issue with the game client.
