Specifically Ffxiv Freezes Entire Computer

For the past 3 months or so I've been living with the fact that, usually within the first 15 minutes of playing, ffxiv will freeze my entire computer forcing me to hard shut down my pc by holding the power button. It seems specifically related to ffxiv because I don't have this issue with other games such as MHW and ffxv. After the first reboot it usually works fine for 3+ hour stretches. Has anyone else experienced this and have suggestions on how to fix? Thanks!

Hardware:

  • CPU: Ryzen r7 1700
  • GPU: GTX 1080 TI
  • MB: MSI x370 carbon
  • Ram: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz
  • SSD: Samsung 970 Evo
  • Psu: EVGA 850 G2

Things I've tried:

  1. GPU driver update
  2. Windows update
  3. Dust and reseat GPU
  4. Dust and reseat SSD
  5. Reinstalled ffxiv

Other notes: Not sure if this is relevant, but after a reboot the launcher will launch as if the game is being installed for the first time (asks if I possess a SE account and shows terms of service). It doesn't seem to affect anything, but seems correlated with whatever the issue is
