Have any changes happened to the device before the issue began? We would also like to recommend several other troubleshooting steps:

1) Make sure that your hardware is not overheating and remove any overclocks you may have on your graphics card or processor. Please check that any fans or vents are clear of blocks.
2) Remove any mods or injectors from the game or system
3) Turn off Fullscreen Optimizations. Find the executable file for the game (normally found in the install folder), right-click it and select 'Properties'. Under the 'Compatibility' tab, check the box labeled 'Disable Fullscreen Optimizations', then click 'Apply'.
4) Remove any unnecessary USB or audio devices (controllers, headphones, flash drives etc.)

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
No real changes have been made to my PC since the issue began, it practically started happening as soon as I started playing the game on my new PC. None of hardware is overheating, I never even really get above 60 degrees between my CPU and GPU. My graphics card has a factory overclock but I've tried underclocking it with MSI Afterburner and also used NVIDIA debug mode to set the clock speed back to base value, neither solution fixed the issue. I don't use any sort of mods/injectors and the only sort of overlay I have is an NVIDIA overlay, which I've tried completely disabling when the issue came around and it didn't fix it. I've also turned off fullscreen optimizations and that hasn't helped. I guess next time it appears I can attempt to unplug any USB's, any other suggestions?
