I've seen a few other forum posts on this topic, but I have not seen one with a conclusive solution.
I am getting a ffxiv_dx11.exe error at random times. It could be in the middle of an empty Amh Araeng, or in the middle of a boss fight. There does not seem to be a pattern to it. I've notice that the error has a weird date and time as show below. It is 10 days and 6 hours behind.
Below is the fault I received:

I have tried the following:
Uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
Factory Resetting the computer with only FFXIV installed.
Checking CPU, GPU, Sound Card, and Windows drivers/updates - all current.
Setting my maximum FPS at 60 in NVIDIA control panel and in game.
Making sure my CPU and GPU are not overclocking.
Lowering graphical settings.
There may be a few other things, but I have forgotten everything.
I am aware than the i9-14900K processor have instability issues. I was told that this wasn't as common on my i9-14900HX (The laptop processor model). I did download an intel tool that stress tests these processors, and it passed.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
