    yeap

    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.
