Game goes to black screen then restores with frame lag

As the title says, randomly the game will go to a black screen with only the mouse pointer showing. When the black screen returns my entire computer slows down until I exit out of the game. Here are my specs just in-case:

GTX 660
AMD FX-8350
12gb ram

Also running dual-monitors in the case that it may be relevant. I've used drivers 314.22, 320.49, and 326.41 and none of them fix this problem.

My screen will randomly go black too. Drivers are up to date.

GT 630

Having this issue as well, in fullscreen mode.

Using SLI'd GTX 670 OCs, latest drivers.

Have you tried turning SLI off?

I don't think that'd work since Jay_Demedrian and myself are using only one graphics card and are having the same problem. Maybe there's a problem with Nvidia drivers and FFXIV?

Since I've experianced this too, and I have a single ATI 5870, it's a bug with the game engine I suspect.

Are you all getting this error in Borderless? or does the resolution not matter?

I've noticed a few times when frames would randomly drop even in small areas.

a lot of people are having this issue, i myself too.
really starting to bug. random times it would just go black (from 15 minutes to 1.5hours) and i would have to restart my computer.

plus, after restarting. try to log in: character still logged in, please try again later.

Just confirmed it happens regardless of resolution
