Directx error 110001/Stuttering

Heya, I've experienced the fatal error of directx ever since I started playing again which was a few months ago.
My screen would typically go a light purpley gray colour and then crash me out of the game giving me the error.

Recently ever since I beat DT i've been experiencing stuttering. like .5s stutter every couple of seconds.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to go to, or what to do. I'm also super not tech savvy, so I do apologize in advance ^^.

My computer is pretty old, so if its just needing to be dusted and upgraded i'm also ok with that answer too :P
Thanks!

Good afternoon! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

We apologize for any inconvenience experienced when trying to play Final Fantasy XIV. Upon reviewing the DXDIAG report submitted, we have located the following:

- System Requirements: Please note that Windows 10 is no longer supported, as Windows 11 64 bit is required for both Minimum and Recommended System Requirements.
- CPU: It would appear that the Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 does not meet the Minimum System Requirement.
- Graphics Card: Please note, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 meets the minimum requirement, we would suggest adjusting the graphical settings in-game and ensuring that your Graphics Card is fully up to date. In addition, it would appear that there is an integrated graphics card Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600, please ensure that this Graphics Card is disabled as FINAL FANTASY XIV does not support integrated graphics cards.

We hope this information has been useful and we thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!
