Unable to play FF14: Constant complete system freeze issues

[Pixieish]

Seeing how my first thread was tossed into "Resolved" for some reason, might as well try again.

For some inexplicable reason, my computer's been getting killed by FF14 as I try to wander around anywhere After 5-15 minutes the game will suddenly freeze, the sound stutters, the only option available is to hard restart. It won't even give me a BSOD so that I can have some hint as to what happened.

I have tried both Skyrim and Shogun 2 to see if I could somehow replicate this issue, though nothing yet, so far. The computer itself seems rather stable, with temperatures running at acceptable limits.

I've also tried lowering graphics settings, running around with even all shadows disabled, and still the game seems to run quite nicely until it dies.

I have even tried the full reinstall, and still, no luck.

Even more perplexing is that I haven't been having these issues until I reached Gridania (occassional driver issues, it seemed, though nothing too bad), and then even worse at Aleport. I figure on heading back to Uldah to see if, in fact, that region is somehow better off. Update Even Uldah has decided that it now loathed my computer, and decided to stab it with an unknown error.

As of this moment, I simply cannot play Final Fantasy. Sure, I can load up and see the pretty opening movie, but I cannot do anything aside from plonk one enemy, start to feel optimistic, and then watch my world come to a halt while the previously soothing overworld music does its best rendition of really bad techno.

What is your speed of your memory ? I don't see a overclocking attempt ( this game hates overclocking )

[Pixieish]

No overclocking (as far as I know), it's a pre-built computer though with a new graphics card tossed in last month. DRAM Frequency: 665.1 MHz

Today, decided to try running the game as nearly the lowest graphics settings possible, using the "Standard-Laptop" setting and plinking off various things like glare and turning shadows to even lower, and still, once again, in a Satasha run, I've inconveniently crashed while in the midst of fighting a third set of mobs. (Furthest I've gotten so far. Yay. ^^; )

[Basek]

I had a issue similar to this, I just solved it by updating to the newest BETA drivers for my Graphics card.
