FFXI crashing in a weird way

[schhay]

For some reason FFXI started crashing and giving this weird error. It never did that before and worked great. Here is a screen shot.

Anyone ever had this problem before? Tried to reinstall drivers and did system restore. Nothing is working. The game loads up fine but about 5 minutes it just looks like that.

Try other games and see if you get the same, it could be that your video card is dying.

But first, if it has a fan make sure it's working properly, over heating can cause that too.

yeah I tried other games and worked fine. It seems like it happens when I login and run around a bit then just go crazy

That looks like your graphics card is malfunctioning. Did you update your drivers lately?

Re: FFXI crashing in a weird way

I reinstalled it when it first happened but haven't upgrade the drivers, it's weird because it worked fine for for a the longest. I did download latest version of windower, a few days later that's when it started to happen. I haven't tried to reinstall FFXI. Since it's a laptop I haven't had a chance to open it and clean it out. Maybe alot of dust is causing the problems, card don't seem to be overheating though, right after it crashes I tried another game and been able to play that and leave it on for a few hrs.
