Hello, I'm a returning player and I decided to get back to the game and experience all the new content. I was playing for a couple hours with no problems at all during the first day, but the second day (when I bought the dlc and downloaded it) made playing the game impossible.

So the problem is:

I keep getting crashes with both of my monitors going completely black and the music is still playing. I've gone through several hundred reddit/tech site posts/comments regarding this issue and nothing has helped. Today the game crashed in the Stormblood title screen, freezing my whole computer (no black screen) and after I restarted my pc, the game wouldn't launch anymore giving me the error "Unable to complete version check. [30410][30607][20457][404]". I uninstalled the game and re-downloaded it, solving the check problem.

I've tried turning different options in the game off, tried switching stuff in nvidia control panel, tried downclocking my GPU, tried switching to DX9 and the crashes kept happening. Event logs won't show me anything.

I have uninstalled all of my nvidia drivers and clean installed them again.

Switched the PCI-E cable from my PSU to the GPU with another cable which came with the PSU.

Downloaded all latest Windows updates.

Reset every single configuration on my hardware related to power management / over clocking.

Tried to run the game as administrator.

Re-installed the whole game.

The game keeps crashing/causing my monitors to go black (no signal, cannot even access task manager)

I'm really just running out of options here, the game is running at a solid 80 fps with max graphics and the temperature sits at 60C. Yet it seems like the card is shutting itself down for some reason.
