Constant random freezing

It seems, that you have an overclocked system. The 12700K is specified up to 3200 MHz memory clock. And yes, it can make a difference.

Freezing and unfreezing can also be an indicator for overheating or defective Harddisk/SSD. Look into the Windows Event Log. Maybe there are some entries.

You people really need to stop trying to give card board cut out cut and paste answers and pay attention to all of the threads and posts having this same issue. It is not helping at all.
There are many threads about this very same issue and it all started with 7.0.
If you do not have any actually information stop wasting people's time.

It's not copy and paste. If the game would have some issues then everyone would be affected. I never had a single crash with 7.x and i play a lot. So the game itself is OKish.

And there are some common reasons why the game can crash: overclocking, bad/old drivers, bad/old BIOS, Intel 13th/14th-gen CPUs, an old PSU, overheating etc. Those reasons i would figure out first.

The issue is that it's a very specific problem that only affects FFXIV.
The game completely freezes up for ~30 seconds, yet you can still alt tab and do other stuff.
If you tab back in, the game is still frozen until those 30 seconds are up like it's running out a timer.

Only FFXIV has this issue. I can run every stress test possible on my computer or play other games that require better hardware for hours on end without issue.

So it's obviously something wrong with FFXIV itself. Either in the programming for certain hardware setups, or just in the way it interacts with Windows itself.

Trying to blame it on other things, or asking the people complaining to try "fixes" that no other program requires, just makes those people annoyed.
