Then its either been introduced by driver updates, or the hardware has gone bad.

User mode apps will not bsod a computer unless its already unstable.

Well, my experience with these crashes have been that they've only occurred with FFXIV and they increased in frequency yesterday after I updated to the latest nvidia drivers, went from once every few hours or so, if at all, to within 30 min of loading the game. I've reverted to 314.22 as some others have reported more stability with and it's improved in doing that.

I will point out that my gpu is under 50C when the crashes occur, so in my case at least it isn't about an overheating issue, doubt it's hardware as everything else is still running without any issues.

Just to offer some feedback with my experience since reverting back to 314.22 nvidia drivers, I've not experienced any crashes since my post on the 25/10, up until today that is when I had one. I was experiencing the full computer freeze where everything would lock up shortly after FFXIV had frozen.

The newest nvidia drivers 331.58 are also not working making it even more worse. I switched back to 314.22

314.22 seems to be stable didn't have a crash yet after playing few hours. Seems the newer nvidia drivers are doing something different.

omg it is getting worst and worst i have tried different drivers but it is the FF that is constantly freezing :<

I bough the game three days ago, and i havn't had any crash untill today. The game freezes my gaming rig to death randomly (sometimes after 2 hours, sometimes right after loging in). My rig is brand new (i bought it like two weeks ago), temperetures are all below medium, psu is corsair tx 650W. I have Asus 7950 radeon, so it's not nvidia drivers cousing problems, just to let people with nvidia chips know. One last thing, i can go through metro last light and far cry 3 on highest settings like through butter.
PS. Sorry for my english, but im a bit upset and dissapointed because of bug, which is clearly bug of the game itself cousing the problem, and only info i can find is "check your tempereture".
Intel Core i5 4570 3.20 GHz, turbo 3.60 GHz
MSI Z87-G43 GAMING

ASUS HD 7950 3072 MB DDR5

Somehow switching "frame limit to 60" off in system config fixed the problem for now.

Seems I have the same issue. Can play the game from 20 minutes to 4 hours, but eventually my screen will freeze to one color and I have to restart my comp. When I do I get a message saying C++ Runtime Error. Not pleased, can run ANY other game with no problems.
