Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[Ackman]

I have the same issues, since end of december I cant play FFXIV: ARR more than 10 min before getting a blue screen however I can still play any other game without much problem

To describe the issue, my game freeze with a lot of yellow artefacts on the screen, especialy when i move or sometime when i fight and there is a big explosion (destroying an amalja big torch for exemple), then my game freeze. 2 scenarios after a freezing,I alt+tab and wait the game unfreeze, or my computer crash with a blue screen.

I tried a lot of nvidia drivers but nothing changes

I am on an asus g51 laptop:
os : windows 7 64bit
graphic card : nvidia gtx 260M
procesor : i7 q720 1.6ghz
ram : 4go

Since there is more than 50 pages talking about that problem, is SE really looking about a solution ?

Artifacting is a sign of overheating or a failing GPU. 260M is a 1GB GDDR3 card. I'm impressed it can run XIV at all. Your card is likely taxed to the point it can't render and overheats, or is simply failing. I linked the specs to your GPU here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-...M.14559.0.html

I've been receiving Bsod very frequently usually only when I am playing this game. It always says something about a memory dump. My specs are

Amd FX 8350 4ghz 8 core processor
Nvidia geforce gtx 570 1.2 gb
8gb ram

I'm thinking it might be my ram since it's ddr3 1333 and I heard that is the bottom of the barrel. Anyone's advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
