"FFXIV has stopped working" during loading of CERTAIN zones. Windows 10

Howdy: My game stops working during loading screen when arriving at certain areas such as Aleport, lower deck Limsa Lominsa and others.

Im unsure what is causing the issue, just now i was able to play on Limsa upper deck, decided to go to lower deck and game crashes. Game doesnt let me log on after selecting character and crashes during loading of zone. Funny thing is ive been in these areas in the morning after a fresh instalation of FFXIV and W10... then something happens and it starts to crash as i play later during the day >_<.

I just upgraded to windows 10 and it started happening. Didnt happen on W8.1.

NOTE: if i log on my laptop and change zones... i can log in just fine. go back to a "bad zone" and game crashes >_<

I have tried:

* Performing a fresh clean install of W10 (yes, it has happened on two separate W10 instalations. works at first then starts happening)

* Reinstalling FFXIV and downloading patches.

* Erasing all settings and content.

* Changing video card drivers. (theres currently two versions supported for my card for Win10)

* Trying both DX9 and 11.

* Running the game from another hard drive.

I can not offer a solution, this seems to be a compatibility issue with windows 10. I researched your exception: c0000005. It is an access violation. What this means is basically at some point the machine is asked to handle a memory address which is just not there. If at all possible i would recommend installing win7/win8 until they make this game compatible with win10.

Windows 10 includes Windows Memory Diagnostic app. Try that and check to see if your memory is stable or not.

hello folks! update time. Issue is still happening at other zones now.

First of all thank you very much for replying and helping :)

AT FIRST i could log in and access previous areas i couldnt before on windows 10 such as Limsa lominsa lower decks. I proceeded to play and head over and do my 55 quest 'Ready to fly' towards getting access to The Aery dungeon. As soon as i talk to the guard to visit the seat of the Temple Commander, which seems to be at a separate zone and my game must load. it crashes.

I did a few things:
* Reverted back to Windows 8.1
* Updated Win 8.1 and latest 8.1 NVIDIA GTX 460 drivers (seems to be same as win10)
* Tried both DirectX 9 and 11
* Installed FFXIV installer. After the installer updated, i proceeded to copy paste my older FFXIV folder from another HDD. Also copied my /user/Documents/My Games folder and had all my macros. (everything seemed perfect until I loaded into the zone i described above. Game crashes immediately.)

So what i currently just did was clear the /my games folder (erased it completely, macros and everything) and it lets me in the zone but the loading screen stays black completely. :/ it doesnt crash but its stuck loading. So im playing with the small windowed mode and bad graphics on dx9. Not sure if i should revert my drivers or do what.

Heres the latest crashes (before being stuck in the black loading screen):
