Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[Elleyetinga]

This is pretty much similar to my setup, except I'm running an i7 960 and a gtx680. I just upgraded to 320.49, was running a 314 before. Also exactly same result for me, I run on two monitors, windowed maximized. First the game itself will freeze, then the rest of the PC will stop responding. Sound will continue playing, and I was in a skype call last time it happened and could continue talking with my friend even while the screens were already locked up.

This is also similar to mine, except the only thing that freezes is my game (I am running in full-screen windowed mode), so I can still alt tab out. Sometimes however, my whole screen goes black while the sound still plays and I'll get the driver has recovered error, but other times the game just becomes unresponsive but the audio will continue. The crashes/freezes seem to have gotten more frequent since last patch, I'm running it on a gtx 650 TI on 326.80.

Ill get the black screen for a few seconds i can still hear my sound running off my headset so im assuming its a driver crash then it will either come back on its own or i have to alt tab or ctrl alt delete to force to go to desktop then tab back in to the game to get back its annoying just started this morning.

I'd gladly take that problem... no offense. I know it's annoying regardless but I, and many others, have to manually reboot our computer. It sucks.

Oh and I'm another AMD user... HD Radeon 6870. Have the latest drivers but going to try the Beta ones recently released.

Just started getting BSOD past couple days. Didnt happen in beta 4 or EA. Started happening after that 6mb patch we had a few days ago.

IM sure it has to be FFXIV. Because Arma 3, BF3, Rift, Dead Space 3, Total War SHogun 2, Ect ect. I can run for hours with no problems. Sometimes I can play for hours with no problems or ill get a crash/BSOD under an hour in..

At least in my case, it's not a heat issue. My GPU was in the low 60s when my game locked up today. You can download a tiny widget that displays the temperature in your taskbar while you play.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody here have a Bigfoot "Killer" network adapter or wireless card? The card has caused stuttering/hanging for me in the past, and it may just be jacked up on steroids for the FFXIV release.

from this forum and forums from other sites, im narrowing it down to client issue...everyone has been fine during beta, but since EA the problem starting occuring

I have to agree with you at this point. This morning I'm able to play with no issues for an hour and a half... plenty of graphically intensive moments. Now I've gotten the black screen (with the need for manual reboot) twice in the past half hour. I've tried many of the things that have been suggested and nothing has worked. I'm hoping this is addressed at some point soon by the FFXIV team.

Also, are they actually looking through these posts? Do they have any sort of forum moderators? I have yet to see any comments from FFXIV/SE representatives on any of the threads I've seen.

Just to nail a point home... I ran their benchmarking software at demanding settings (highest resolution and most options set to highest value) and I got "Very High" performance.

I don't understand what is going on with this problem... it has to be software related no?

{Edit: just tried maximum setting and got the same score}

I would love to hear an answer from SE on this, I have just had another BSOD WHEA-UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR while playing FFXIV - No other game I have gets any errors, and this error started at the start of Early access, all other beta phases were fine!
