Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

Has anyone tried a format and fresh OS install? I'm considering doing this today to attempt to remedy this issue.

Yup, if you read weeks ago in this thread you'll see that people have tried EVERYTHING... I'm not exaggerating either.

What's really interesting is that I have seen three new threads pop up regarding these same issues in the past day or so... this is becoming more widespread I think.

Ah I see. There was a lot of sift through :\ I did a fresh install anyways and yeah, nothing was fixed at all. Oh well :\ Guess we all just play the waiting game

I updated the NVIDIA GeForce drivers for my GTX 760 to the just released version (331.40 beta) yesterday and have since played for about 7 or 8 hours so far, with no crashes. Prior to that, the game was crashing constantly at random intervals. This is easily the longest i've gone without a crash since they began about 2 weeks ago, after the last significant game update.

This surely is a driver+game issue. And it should be a matter of time when they fix it. (if not already with the coming 331.xx)

No dice so far with 331.40. I'm still hopeful!

Just in case there would be a slightest change that someone might get their rig to work with FFXIV. All I did to my PC while I was trying to fix this crash issue:

1. Went thru' different nvidia drivers, old to newest ones.
-(safe mode: uninstall -> boot -> install -> boot) Still crashing.

2. Adding volts to GPU.
-(+12mV) Still crashing.

3. Turning my CPU turbo off to prevent some magical issues?
-(i7 3770k, disabling turbo from bios) Still crashing.

4. Switching GPU from 1st PCI-E slot to 2nd slot.
-(Some motherboards might have issues with 1st slot) Still crashing.

5. Updating Win 7 to latest updates.
-(Just in case of windows magics?) Still crashing.

6. Unchecking 'depth of field' + GPU tweaks.
-(Unchecked 'depth of field' from FFXIV.)
-(Setting POWER TARGET to 110% and lowering GPU clock with -50Mhz with EVGA Precision X) No crashing.

7. Installed the newest nVidia drivers.
-(From safe mode. Version: 327.23) No crashing.

8. Returning GPU to 'stock' state.
-(My power target is currently 105% and GPU clock -15Mhz) No crashing.

Sum up (as current situation):
-Windows updated.
-Latest nVidia drivers.
-GPU on 2nd PCI-E slot
-GPU Power target: 105%
-GPU underclocked by 15Mhz
-No added volts for GPU
-CPU Turbo enabled
-Depth of field unchecked from FFXIV (disabled)

I'll try to return my GPU to stock state soon and test does it have any effect. Althou', -15Mhz shouldn't make any differense. (Not sure of the power target setting)
