Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[sgbbad5]

For exactly a month the game unexpectedly closes due to a windows error "Final Fantasy 14: ARR has stopped working". Only the game closes, and I never get bsod. I have noticed a pattern to when and where these so called random game freezes. It has never froze while in a dungeon duty, but it usually happens when I'm in a city or near a busy FATE. The thing is that it doesn't always happen every time I'm in a city or busy FATE.

I did play the FFXIV in open beta and pre-release with my old computer with no problems. The problems started when I playing the game with my new computer: AMD FX-8150 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor, Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard, G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory, Samsung 840 Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk, Asus GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB Video Card, Corsair CX 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply, Corsair 500R Black ATX Mid Tower Case.

Over the last month of freezes, I've done many trouble-shooting of my own including:
In game setting changes like resolution, full screen, windowed, no player names, other pc player actions removed, all video settings as low as possible.
Software trouble-shooting like firewalls off, anti-virus off, startup programs all off, all drivers possible up-to-date, re-installed FFXIV three weeks ago, re-installed FFXIV yesterday with firewalls/anti-virus off, Virus/malicious/spyware scans ran, run launcher in admin mode.
Hardware trouble-shooting like running Memcheck86 to make sure memory was good, re-sitting memory sticks, made sure power supply was ample enough for computer system, ran dozens of tests on temperatures everything peaks lower than 55C except video card which doesn't peak higher than 66C.

Edit: I'm currently testing the game with ffxiv process set from normal to high in task manager. So far so good.

I have been having this issue for some time now since early access. I never BSOD just game crashing.
My build:
i7 3930K @ 4.2
4 x 4GB gskill trident 2133 cl 9
2 x ati 7950 in crossfire
2 x 120GB mushkin chronos SSD RAID 0
eyfinity 5760x1080

I had this issue during early access with the amd beta 13.8 drivers but that was a driver issue. I reverted the drivers and had no issues except poor frames because crossfire didn't work. I finally turned off my second card and and ran the game in windowed full screen mode with no issues runs perfectly fine. Then AMD released 13.9 and I thought my problems were solved. Crossfire does now work with the game but full screen crashing still exists. It did always happen when I tried porting or on my magitek mount. I am going to try some things that I haven't tried yet seen in this thread. All I can say is that it's definitely game related, not driver/hardware.

Edit:I tried using the frame limiter. Doesn't even work in full screen with crossfire enabled. Only works for me in full screen windowed.
edit2: I turned down the clocks on my graphics cards and I'm noticing major frame improvements. When I normally get 50-60 fps Im getting 80-100 fps. i went from 810 and 1250 to 750 and 1150.
Edit3: I will do more testing when I get home for anyone this is helping check back around 10:30 est and I will have more info then for you.
