Hi guys!
Recently I have been having several issues with my computer, and the situation is worsening daily.
In particular, when I am playing the game 'Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn', the game will crash almost every 10-20 minutes. Occasionally, it will also BSOD. In addition, the sound also cuts out entirely at completely random occasions, with seemingly no reason as to why. The sound issue is only resolved by restarting the computer. As you can imagine; having to do this on a daily basis, almost every other hour, in addition to the constant crashing and BSODing is leaving me with disdain. Curious as to why this was happening, I asked several people on various websites but even with Event Logs and Error Codes to hand I cannot find a solution.
I have tried everything to resolve the crashing/BSODs. I have turned the graphics settings in-game to the absolute lowest (though I can easily play it on Maximum settings, and I used to, before the crashing started), I have made sure all the files are verified so that nothing is missing, I check for new graphics drivers on a daily basis and update as soon as anything is available, and I've even attempted changing from Windows Aero to Basic/Classic; but it has all lead to nothing. I am totally at a loss for how to proceed - I have been told it may be a RAM issue, or something to do with my Graphics card, and therefore I was wondering if it was possible to have my PC checked over to see if this can be fixed.
Thanks!
