BSOD During FFXIV
Since few days ago I've been constantly getting BSOD and today seemed to be worst. Could please someone help me narrow down the source of problem?

How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.
Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
Install the NVIDIA DRIVERS 314.22WHQL only.
- Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
- 3D Vision Control Driver
- 3D Vision Driver
- Graphics Driver
- HD Audio Driver
- PhysX
- nvidia Update
(Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).- Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
- Download 314.22 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
Let us know the results.
Thank you for answering.
I did RAM stress test last year when I built this computer so I'll leave that aside for now and followed the instruction on removing the driver files through Control Panel > cleaned with DDU and then did a clean install of 314.22WHQL without those 3D Vision and other stuff mentioned. (Also re-enabled SLI + max 3D performance thing in NVIDIA control panel)
I guess rest is to find out if this helped solve BSOD by testing the game.
Couple of questions:
Why that particular version of driver? I installed latest one for performance increase in BF4 day before yesterday (ironically got BSOD while playing FFXIV frequently afterward, although I'm not sure if was the cause or not)
What's the deal with 3D Vision/Audio drivers and other stuff? Are they unreliable/unstable?
Just curious and wanting to learn more, thanks again.
Last year? Dont you think that it is enough of time?
This particular driver, cause other later versions will not be able to serve good for you.
I guess you have some other audio driver installed, and you dont watch 3D on the computer. Most of us dont do these two. As those elements are not only unnecessary but also have potentials to cause issues, they need to be not included. And that is why the option to not install those are present there.
I didn't do all 8 cycles for Memtest but there was no error.
After installing mentioned driver, I saw an improvement but it's not completely gone. I no longer get the BSOD but the game would occassionally choke (black screen for a second) instead and then suffers frame issue and won't go back to normal until few seconds of alt tabbing and going back.
Seeing I never had this problem with this game for past month of when it came out, (until very recently, seemed like worsen by new driver) is it possible there's a problem with game optimization?
Edit: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-issues/page41
Seems like people who were having problem with BSOD is getting similar result as mine after installing 314.22
I say this just once that memtest has to be run AT LEAST for 8 passes unless the errors show up straight way - preferably overnight . You should run that test on each individual stick and slot if you do come up with errors until you narrow it down to the culprit.
There are no system specs on this post either it is fairly hard to see what to do if we do not know what we are dealing with so some specs please! System Info - See Your System Specs
