System Crashes

Is it just the monitor that is on Displayport that is going blank?

Maybe google 980 displayport issues to see if it similar to what you are seeing. But I think that would effect everything.

All 3 go out. I ran Saint Mocianne just now and did crash again. After crashing I tried unlimiting FPS and did not crash again for the rest of the dungeon. I will run it a few more times and see if that has really made any change or was just pure coincidence.

It could be your PSU or your GPU.

How often does it happen on average? Once an hour? day? week? Is it more frequently happening a particular day of the week or time of day?

If it happens, does it tend to be either zoning (changing from one environment to another) or in a fight with a lot of people or animations? Are you idle or in combat? gathering? crafting?

I tried unlimiting FPS...

That is opposite of what you should do to test FPS... That is the highest setting, not the lowest.

Please update with your findings.

If that was the cause, it could be that with having the FPS capped your GPU was so under utilized it was lowering into power saving mode. Which could make sense since there so little going on in a 4 man dungeon.

This has been happening for awhile for me as well although slightly different. About once an hour, the computer shuts off. No blue screen or errors. My PSU is 850W with Crossfire'd 7900s. PSU is I believe, 4 years old, give or take a few months. Strangely, I started having this issue when I moved my computer desk to another side of the room. Probably has nothing to do with anything. Also this only happens with XIV and no other games (at least that I tested in my Steam library.) I kinda wanna explore every option before having to blow $120+ on a new PSU.

You may want to try reseating everything. You'd be surprised what can wiggle lose just from moving your case.

Other than that you could disable crossfire so only one card is used to reduce power usage.

Well, sadly it went a few days it seemed without crashing now it is back at it again today.

Hard to say if it really is a PSU issue.

Maybe try a single screen with HDMI for a bit.

I am going to try the following things in order:
1. Single screen on HDMI
2. Single 1080 screen on HDMI
3. Another PSU. I have a couple others around from other gaming builds.
4. Total reformat and while I am at it might as well buy a bigger SSD =P.

I will report back what I find.
