While playing I keep experiencing random system crashes. The screen will turn black, sound will continue playing but display never returns. The power has to be hard reset and the computer restarted. This seems to happen mostly in dungeons. I attempted to run Saint Mocianne earlier and experienced this issue almost 10 times.

For some history with the problem, it began April of last year when I purchased a new GTX 980, prior to that I had a GTX 680 with no issues. At first I thought it may be the card and had it replaced only to continue to experience the black screens. While playing more games it became clear very quickly that this problem ONLY occurs when running Final Fantasy, no other programs or games experience any issues.

I have tried uninstalling drivers/reinstalling etc. No new versions of drivers ever to seem to fix the issue. I am currently running the highest version of GeForce drivers, 361.43.

If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I can post any additional information if requested. The game is becoming totally unplayable with strings of constant crashing.
