FFXIV causing black screen/hard crash Windows 10 64bit

Hmmm are you using Display port or HDMI? Make sure drivers are up to date, and your monitor has the proper settings as well matching game settings. Try running it in border less window mode. Uninstall direc X and reinstall may help as well.

I've tried 3 times now I also have a brand new laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M. I dont know much about this stuff is there anything I can do???

Can always try running benchmark to get an idea of what your system can handle. It may just be mem/drivers crashing.

Umm blue screen is even worse. Could be a defective hardware. Did you tried playing the game again?

I am using HDMI for one screen and DVI for the other, it makes no difference if I have one screen or not, still crashes. Not BSOD, just black.
Pretty sure it's not a performance issue, I have a pretty okay g card (GTX 970) and 8gb RAM. It just hard crashes to a black screen and my whole pc is bork. I used to have to reinstall video drivers to get it to work properly again but it seems okay now, just restarting suffices.
