I installed the most recent driver and it seemed to fix some of the problem. As far as I can tell having background applications open did not affect the crashing.
I can load into sigmascape raids now but when I leave Guardian the game crashes. I also tried going into ridorana lighthouse and the game crashed basically every time a new area loaded. I was able to load in an reenter the instance but it crashed after each boss and I was never able to load into the area for belias while they fought it. Although I was able to beat the raid I was trying to map the area out since I got auto teleported to the next boss between crashes and in this time I was removed by the post instance timer so while the game considers Ridorana beaten I haven't cleared it as the quest is concerned so I will have to do it again and it still crashes as of now.
