Cutscenes between stormblood and shadowbringers keep crashing

I recently got to the msq between stormblood and shadowbringers so the patch quests and every voiced cutscene has crashed but i always got past it eventually. Now i'm at the quest "the sultana's strings" and the game goes to a black screen and just keeps loading.

I've already tried reinstalling, playing on directx9, changing the directory to the C drive and update my drivers.

Here is my system report:

Thanks in advance.

Same issue here and have yet to find a fix yet even after changing SD cards! I did discover that the folder/directory ffxiv is installed in was set to read only. I did see a user mention disabling that helped them out.

Does this happen particularly when there are a lot of lighting effects or explosive effects? I have had similar issues but haven't heard back.

The only thing I've seen work for a fix is replacing the PSU, but I can't get in contact with the person who figured that out. I've noticed with mine, that I do get a spike in GPU power before my screens go black. I'm waiting for my new PSU to arrive to see if it fixes the issue.
