970GTX randomly crashing ..still

Hello,

I made a post awhile back stating that the game would randomly crash.. It doesn't do this on any other game I play for hours, these games that I play are more resource intense then ffxiv. I have the latest nVidia drivers, this is also a semi fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro.. I also watched my temps and they're not going above 60...

I also turned off EVGA Precision X to see if that was causing the issue, nope.

Someone told me to turn on error reporting to see whats going on, and I was able to get this:

(I know nvd3dum.dll is related to drivers, graphic card, etc)

If anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks!

Looking into possible RAM voltage issue, will report back.

I have a GTX970. While there were some tearing issues originally, when I downloaded the latest driver, I had no issues period. I can say my FFXIV has never randomly crashed.

That makes me sad face..but i'm still having the issue unfortunately..

When I first got my GTX970, I had a few minor issues, but 347.09 fixed those.

Today, driver 347.25 was released. Perhaps you might want to give it a shot and see if it's of any help.

I'm also on a GTX970. I still use the 344.xx drivers. The only issue I've encountered is FFXIV failing to close. Outside of that, the driver has not crashed FFXIV like you're experiencing. You could try http://www.extreme.outervision.com/p...ulatorlite.jsp to see if you have an adequate power supply. If you are having RAM voltage anomalies then try resetting the BIOS settings to fail-safe defaults.
