This started happening a few months ago, I don't remember exactly which month but it was either early October or late September. I can answer for a fact that it was not before patch 4.4 was released. Some time after it for sure. As for any sort of pattern, most of the time it happens whenever I enter or leave an instance, such as a dungeon or a duty. That's not always the case, as it happened just the other day twice within 5-10 minutes, once in Directx 11 and again in Directx 9. As for using certain characters, I only have the one character on Zalera. Maybe there was a Windows update, I'm not certain. And here is the system report.
