Black Screen of Death

[Grit]

Just FYI to everyone posting here,

The OP's problem seems to have been resolved by turning off sleep/hibernate mode from their power options panel. However, they had to use the administrator account to do this (for some reason)?

They said they would post back if the problem re-occurred.

I was thinking... maybe since FFXIV is so graphical demanding, it's laptop probably went to sleep mode in order to save batteries?... just my thinking, some laptops are configured to do so and more probable if it's using Windows 7.

Hehe, I had forgotten this thread, gonna necro with how I fixed it ..

I degraded nvidia, and the problem haven't occured after that. I am currently playing the game smoothly at max specs without ambient occlusion on. This is only fullscreen though, windowed it lags a bit after 1.18.

I don't know why people says I can't play with these specs when I clearly can ^^

I had the same problem last summer with a GTX260 and almost the same set up:

Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 64bit (build 7600)
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz

I removed the steel case over my tower,put my fan to maximum speed and cleaned all the dust: i left the tower open with the steel case off, that way the parts get more cooler air. Since, I didnt get any more screen freezing or error msg31000054874 etc, or black screen from overheating .
