Hi all,

I apologize if this thread is redundant. I've been searching and searching for a solution to this, and while my problem is tied to well-documented ones (error code 11000002), it seems unique.

I run a Gigabyte r9 290x windforce. My PSU is 750w bronze EVGA, in other words more than enough. My CPU, which isn't relevant here, is a Phenom II X4 965 OC'd to 4.0 Ghz.

In all other games, my gpu will start artifacting and crash at around 85 degrees celsius--the max temp for this particular model of r9 290x.
However, in FFXIV and only FFXIV, when it gets to 75 degrees, it will artifact and then crash, giving me: "a Fatal directx error occurred: 11000002". The DX9 client hasn't crashed yet, but the gpu has artifacted on that as well. Leading me to believe it is a temperature problem, and sure enough, the only thing that causes the crash is when it gets to 75 degrees. My fan profile is extremely aggressive, around 90% when it hits 70 degrees. Currently testing that to see if it will keep the temp from gradually rising. It's worth mentioning that the GPU utilization stays at 99% or 100% all the time.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled every kind of driver multiple times, uninstalled/reinstalled windows, upgraded to windows 10, uninstalled/reinstalled FFXIV. This problem doesn't occur in any other games. I'm not sure if it's hardware or software or FFXIV, and am kind of at a loss in terms of what to try.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.
