Hello. Been having ffxiv crashing issues ever since building a new computer. Everything is fresh and new so there are no driver conflicts or anything. I've read about people having the same issues using an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT gpu on the AMD forums. Prior to the fatal directx error crashes ffxiv would hard crash my whole computer, doing an instant reboot with no crash log or report of any kind. I sent the card for RMA and now it freezes and gives me a fatal directx error instead.
I've tried: old drivers, the latest drivers, running in dx9, running with capped frames, having my AMD software cap the frames, enabling vertical refresh on my AMD software, trying every type of display mode (windowed, borderless windowed, fullscreen), I've monitored the temperature during the crash and freeze and it was never an issue. This ONLY happens with ffxiv, other gpu intensive software gives me zero issues (Autodesk Maya, Unreal Enginge, Substance Painter, games such as Genshin Impact). This is also no issue with programs clashing with ffxiv because this problem will happen with only ffxiv and Discord open (anything that could cause a problem from Discord is disabled: no overlays or anything).

A friend of mine suggested posted my DxDiag info but it's excessively long so not sure if it's needed? Or what parts of it would be needed. Please let me know if I can provide anything else.
