Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[berries]

Freezes stopped for me now!

After trying everything else what had been suggested here, but none working, I found old thread from the 1.0 archives where someone mentioned about issues with some dynamic boost thing with Nvidia GTX cards(I have 670). Then with little googling I found this http://www.overclock.net/t/1267918/g...d-undervolting. Following those instructions, which was basically just that one command for me because I didn't care for the overclock, stopped the crashing and freezing completely. This is something I feel I should not have to do and this is the only game that does this for me, but if it's the only way to stop those freezes for me then I'll do that until it's confirmed to work some other/proper way.

I'm not sure how relevant this is but I also was monitoring when the crashes were still happening and this is what I got and the obvious spike is where the freeze happened

Which command did you follow?

Which command did you follow?

This one: nvidiaInspector.exe -forcepstate:0,2

This however sets the speed lower than what it would be normally, but I'm not confident enough with this thing to start playing around with those numbers myself. It doesn't really affect me anyway because I do use fps cap to help keep my computer whisper quiet. Also you need to do that every time you start your computer. I forgot it once and panicked when I froze again little later, but then I remembered I did forget to use that command before starting, and up to this point I haven't froze otherwise a single time when I have used that.

Not sure why, but the cmd isnt working for me, so I followed the guide and did everything it did. Lets hope for the best!

Do you get any kind of error or just nothing happens? When I first tried it I did it in wrong place and received an error, but then it worked when I did it where the Inspector was installed.

I have yet to have another crash/freeze since I started using that(as long I remembered to use it before starting ). It's a crude bandage for me, but I'll take it while waiting for a proper solution.

So I tried to take off the frame limiter, and I got an instant crash. But putting it on I get anywhere between 30 mins to however long I can go.

It says it isn't in the right location, but I don't know what to do to make it the correct location. I know where the inspector folder is, so do I open cmd there?

EDIT: Ok I got it to work for me, at least I think I did. I ran the command you use, and it popped up a option to run it, so I did of course. Now that I have doe that, do I even need to run Nvidia Inspector, or am I good to go from here? Also when do I have to use this command, is it every time I turn on my computer, or whenever I want to play? I'll post the results on whether this fixes my crash later on!

Just wanted to add my name to the list I have a asus g75vw with a 670m graphics card ever since the game went life i've been having problems. Throughout all of the beta it worked fine but now I can't play more than ten or so minutes and the game crashes my whole computer Im not overtemping i've tried different drivers suggested in this thread and nothing has fixed it but my computer works fine in every other way even playing swtor no issues like this.

As far as I know you don't have to run it separately afterwards, but you can check it from there did it work. You don't have to do it until you start playing, I only use it myself when I play this and for nothing else and also I do set it back to normal once I'm done if I still do something else. I do hope this worked for you as well as it worked for me or anyone else who might have tried.

I'm a little lost on this. The link didn't explain it enough for me. Can you tell me exactly what you did? I'm desperate to fix all the crashing :O

Basically in the simplest it's just 2 steps.

1.Install NvidiaInspector
2.Run the command where it was installed.

To make it little more convenient, I made shortcuts on my desktop for locking the speed and returning to normal and put them right next to the FFXIV icon so I would remember to use them.
