Video Card Driver Crashing

in Final Fantasy XIV

So today after hours of troubleshooting, i've found that when I play FFXIV for awhile it actually causes my graphics card to get SO hot it overheats and crashes.... Anyone else experiecing this on a laptop?

    Laptops are notorious for poor ventilation. If it's a Nvidia card, try using Ntune to turn up the fan speed. That's what I did on mine. Dropped the temp from 60C to 40C by maxing the speed on both cards. Try something like that?

    Hey great advice I'll download it and try it out! Does regular nTune work that's normally used on desktops?

     

    Where can I get the most up to date nTune program at?

    I can't play this game for 10 minutes without my driver crashing out... I'm guessing it's a heating issue... if I run my laptop off battery my video card doesn't run as hot and it will play until the laptop dies, but when it's plugged in and running 100% it crashes fast.,,

    Check it. Go to your power option in your control panel, go into advanced option. See if there's anything you can do to crank down the graphics card power.

    No worries happens to me too. =( If I want to be lazy about it. I just get a back of ice and put it on my lappy. It helps so that my laptop doesn't burn me. 

    You wanted my time, so I played you. You wanted my money, I forked it over. You wanted my soul, I gave it willingly. Not to complain... but when do I get my end of the deal? And no, I don't want your flippin' carrot. If you can't do that give me back my youth and keep the change. Why don't you try chasing your own damn carrot for a change? I'll gladly hold the stick.
