XIV is notoriously picky about how it interacts with both the Nividia drivers and Windows drivers so if things aren't perfectly aligned between the three, errors of varying severity will occur, ranging from simple client crashes to GPU/PC crashes like you're experiencing. Down/upgrading Nvidia drivers can sometimes fix it.

I started having GPU shutdowns after Windows upgraded me to version 1809, which I seem to have finally resolved by both downgrading to a known stable Nividia driver (416.94 with the latest Windows version) and also updating my motherboard chipset drivers to the latest ones as well. After doing so, I only got a minor client crash as my latest error, which I believe was tied to the Windows Game Mode being on, so I shut that off and am hoping things are finally back to normal.
Hmm. I'll have a look and see after I get back from work, but I JUST updated both my windows and my Nvidia. I'll try that combo you have, though admittedly *downgrading* a driver sounds trickier to suss out than just upgrading one to me, hah.
Thank you for that btw! I was just trying to play before I leave for work and I'm not getting crashes but it keeps freezing, if I pull out and into task manager it'll go black and then come back, and then I can take like 5 steps and it starts flashing green in the sky and such, before it will freeze visibly again, or sometimes just go black and stay there.
