In game music stops, Then BSOD/CTD

[MiqoLalafell]

For the past couple weeks, I've been having an issue where FF14 will crash, either locking up and crashing to desktop, or flat out bluescreening after enough time. It tends to involve the in-game music suddenly stopping, then slowly locking up piece by piece. It has been happening more or less since the gold saucer patch, though I previously thought it fixed, until today, where it's happened three times.

So far, I've tried un/reinstalling different drivers, un/reinstalling FF14, Deleting the FF14 folder in my documents (which caused the crashing to go away for a little while, until today), testing my computer memory, and dealing with a couple programs I thought might have been the issue. So far, FF14 is the only game that has the issue, leading me to believe it's something to do with it, but the problem is beyond both me and my friends at this point.

I guess I'll provide some computer specs for now, and will try to provide any other information that potential help may desire. At this point, I'm getting to my wit's end.

Any chance one of your friends would let you try one of their Video Cards?

I've heard of a lot of the 400 Series NVidia card starting to die on various game forums (depending on the age/run time). If you don't have issues using another card then you could always try and re-paste your 470 before replacing it. They run hot from the factory so if the paste isn't transferring that heat to the cooler very well you'll have all kinds of bad.

I had something similar back when ARR was released. The Z87 Sabertooth had a faulty CMOS battery which caused the motherboard clock roll back and caused all kinds of problems, including what you mentioned.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to another card, and so far the only issue is FF14, but I'll try to keep these suggestions in mind. Maybe I'll see about adding more paste just to be safe, though I do my best to keep an eye on the heat, and FF14 doesn't cause it to heat up more then other games.

When ur pc blue screens, it makes a dump file. U could look at the file to maybe get another clue as to what the problem is. U will need a software to read the file, u should be able to get it from MS website. Just google "read dump files" and u should see it with the 1st or 2nd link.
