Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[Jaitsu]

I think I found a fix for full freeze issue, I rolled back my nvidia driver to 314.22 and it works, but instead of freezing, the driver will just hang for 5 seconds which is still doable.

i have the same issue sometimes...

BSOD 124 here. I have ran 6+ hours of Prime95, 20 Passes of LinX, 3 hours of Heaven Benchmark, Extended Windows memory Diagnostic, disk checks. All came back fine. Thinking it was the latest Nvidia Beta I reinstalled 320.18 WHQL and still get BSOD 124. Excuse the signature, easier to use the one I use from the EVGA forums than type everything.

from all the threads i've read; it doesn't seems its a driver issue, overheating, settings, etc.

people from this thread and others have tried everything and to no avail, BSOD.
i'm just going to wait it out and see if a real, solid solution comes out.
already spent $900+ for a brand new computer just to play this game. I'm not really willing to spend any more money to buy new parts to test if a specific hardware was the issue (incompatible).

SE some support on this issue please

"Exception code: 0xc0000005" If I remember correctly, this error code has something to do with system based permissions. I would make sure that your system is running ffxivboot, ffxivlauncher, ffxivsysinfo, ffxivupdater, and ffxiv.exe as administrator. Also make sure that each of these applications has usage permissions for the SYSTEM and Users accounts on your PC. If the problem continues possibly try running the applications in compatibility mode for "windows 7"

I have the same problem: game freezes randomly, I get a black screen and can't do anything. Have to reboot the pc. Sometimes even my gpu ramps the fan up to max rpm. This only happens with this game and its very random. 2 days ago it didn't happen at all, yesterday it happened once and today it keeps happening every 30min or so :/ I've tried running it as admin, setting permissions, different drivers, even beta drivers and nothing seems to work. Its unbarable today. Specs are: Intel Core i5 3470, ATI Radeon HD7850, 8GB of DDR3 ram. So I guess I'm more than capable of running the game...

came to a conclusion that there is no fix for this on our part....
we're doomed....



sent a link of this thread the customer support telling them to read the damn thread..hopefully they'll read and provide some sort of answer.
growing tired of bsod and manually restarting the computer every 15-40 minutes.

Same problem here...

Playing in a Dell XPS 15 with HD Intel 3000 and NVIDIA 525M (using NVIDIA when playing the game, of course).

Never got any problem when playing in the Beta, but my notebook start to freeze when early acess begin...

Randomly the ffiv.exe causes an error with the display control nvlddmkm file. The program freezes and crashes after it.

I have been ruinning several games with high demmands of hardware without any bug. The videocard chip isn't overheated and the game goes perfectly and smoothly until it crashes... and the problem persists with any version of Nvidia drivers (newest and oldest), several tests for hardware problems passed with no detected problems, and this kind of problems only happens with FF XIV ARR in my computer... It happens independently of the display settings...

My computer is a Dell XPS laptop I can chose what GPU to use. It does not freeze when using the modest onboard GPU Intel 3000...

I use FFXIV with a Nvidia 540M Card with 2GB and CPU iCore 7i with 6 GB RAM. Windows 8.

I'm not agree with users that say that its a hardware problem when other soft runs perfectly...
