I'm crashing and I don't know what more to try and to do. Just came back to the game and the first week was fine, then the problem started. Everything starts with a light crackling at the sound. Sometimes music just stops, sometimes audio effects stops playing (like the sound when you press select to iterate through UI). Sometimes when I change CrossBar, icons don't show. Then animation stops, both casting and movement. I can still cast (damage is computed by server) and move (gliding in still position). After that, 50% of the time I Crash (An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV.(45d)), and the other 50% all animation comes together (like 10 secs of animation in 2 secs). It happened at the beggining of the problem two or three BSODS (CRITICAL_PROCESSS_DIED), but only after EVERYTHING freezes. Only game having problem is FFXIV. Seriously, please help me. My wife have a i5 8400/16GB/RTX 2060/SATA SSD and have no problems. My brother-in-law is playing at the PS4 Pro too.
