What's the error code?

No error code for me, just 'FFXIV has encountered a problem', the usual generic app error stop codes in the log. Only affects a particular character in a particular zone.

I wonder if Miichu's problem is like mine.

Okay, cool. When there is a "Encountered A Problem" message it actually creates a detailed crash log (it can also be found under Event Viewer). Can you post those logs?

It's the standard windows log (generic event ID 1001), this app stopped at that memloc. Seeing this problem from the 'inside' as it were, I'd want a system image of the PC affected and if possible a complete memory dump... the nVidia log just tells me that the game client crashed and not the video driver.

This guy seems to have solved his problem though, hopefully it helps someone else as well.

I solved mine the 'usual' way, which is to log off for a few hours and try again. This usually works. If I didn't know better, certain zones just up and dislike my character at random times of the day ^-^. This might be the case since I've tried logging in from a different PC/locale (a different country no less) and having the same issue. Tech Support will 'teleport' the character somewhere for me to log in if I start a live chat session.

PS On occasion, during one of these 'crash happening every 2-3 minutes' events, if I zone out (teleport/zone elsewhere) or join an instance (CT/Baha/Ex Prime/etc), the problem 'goes away'... unless I reenter the zone concerned (the zone is the problem or something in that zone... who meows?).
