Ffxiv Crashes Pc For Unknown Reason

RSS News

Syndicated News Service
This is an issue I've been having for years now (since at least Stormblood's release for sure), but it's been becoming increasingly common, especially in the past few weeks. While playing ffxiv, the game (and entire pc) will freeze, go to a random solid color with distorted audio a few seconds later, and then restart my computer. There is no blue screen or error message, ever. This can happen several times a day, or it can not happen for 3 weeks. In recent weeks, I can get it several times in a row on loading into the game, generally on moving 2 feet from where I logged in, or sometimes even in the loading screen. It can also happen without any input from me (afk using the bathroom) but it is significantly more common when I am actively playing the game.

As for error logs, there is nothing in Event Viewer at or prior to any crash. It will shows nothing for sometimes hours, and then the next thing is a "the operating system has started" event and then the usual booting up stuff. I have worked to fix some AppID permission issues that happened after crashes, but no luck there.

I have had it happen practically everywhere ingame. At first it was only in overworld areas, but at some point (4.5 or 5.0 release maybe?) it began happening in instances as well. The final boss room in the new 5.2 dungeon has been a huge point where it happens recently (about 8 times in the past 2 runs of it), but it has also been common in Kugane, the Mists, central Il Mheg over the water, the Lochs, and the Raktika Greatwoods.

As far as I can tell, this issue only happens with FFXIV. Things it does not seem to be:
-overheating. It can happen immediately after turning on the computer, loading into ffxiv as fast as possible, and having the fans on max. And can equally not happen after hours of play and pc usage.
-ram or other system resources. Nothing is even close to maxing out even when I put it under load with multiple streams and other programs open. Also happens with no other programs running.
-internet or connection issue
-multiple displays. Happens with only the laptop's screen being active.

Common fixes that I have tried:
-reinstalling windows
-reinstalling ffxiv
-fresh ffxiv config files
-graphics drivers and Windows have been up to date throughout this issue

Any insight on how to pinpoint the cause is very much welcome, I'm tired of randomly crashing in the middle of raids and dungeons.
