Things to test/observe:
-try to run the game in absolute minimum possible settings.
-Is there anything in particular causing a crash? A spell effect, looking at a certain object? Trying to load something?
-get Speedfan, keep it open and logging whilst FFXIV is open. Are the temps abnormal (~95c is when modern cards tend to crash)? Are your voltages off? Look at the +12V -12V, are they significantly out (it's normal for them to be a bit off? Don't assume because Crysis runs fine that it's not a heat/voltage issue. Badly coded games can overstress gfx cards (like SC2 not having a frame rate cap so the menus run at 1000's fps and melt PCs)
-did you upgrade from an ATI card? Make sure you use a driver removal tool to get rid of all traces. GFX card drivers are notorious for not uninstalling cleanly and they interfere.
-get a graphics card overclocking tool, lower the clock speed very a small percentage, does that fix it (if so, it's power saving to blame)? Does underclocking by a large margin fix it?
