[PC] Hard Freeze on Windows 10 only in FFXIV

I have been playing for the past month or so and recently the freezes are getting more and more frequent.

The PC froze up completely with the audio repeating and blaring loudly. I had to hard reset it every time as it is the only way to restart the PC and to get it working again.

Would appreciate if anyone has any idea on how to fix this issue. System information as below:
