FFXIV Causes More Stress After Power Supply Replace?
Before I begin describing my problem, I feel I should explain the reason why my power supply has been replaced. My PC had (or maybe still has) an issue where it would randomly shut down, mostly while I play games. After much analysis I learned it was a hardware issue, and I took it to Best Buy (the store where I bought the PC) for repair. They told me the best thing that can do is have me go through a process of trial and error and replace parts of the PC as the problem continues. So we started with the power supply and replaced it with a new copy, and I did a complete system restore once I took the PC home. After downloading most, if not all, the essentials I finally installed and updated Final Fantasy XIV.
So here's the problem: After all this, when my computer runs Final Fantasy XIV the fans in my PC become much louder than they ever have before. As far as I know, I have done nothing different than before I replaced the power supply and performed a system restore. The game itself shows no signs of stress, but the fans do get a little louder in the Black Shroud compared to the other 2 landscapes. But even there, the game shows no signs of stress.
What is causing this problem? Like I said, this has not occurred before I replaced the power supply and performed a system restore. Here are my PC's specs:
Operating System: Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Gaming Graphics: 4096 MB
Primary Hard Disk: 864 GB Free (917 GB Total)
Thank you for reading, and good fortune to you in your current and future endeavors.
Edit: Added the last sentence before this one.
