Other games work fine as well as app's I've had before. Overall the PC runs fine, my only issue is with FFXIV, and it's odd that it's having the same issues I only had from beta up until the JAN(?) patch.

My reason for formatting was to clean HDD of unwanted programs and data. I used a factory restore disc so everything should have been fine.

If there is a way to optimize the CPU or GPU, or anything else of similarity, I would appreciate a guide, link or assistance to do this.
