Greetings fellow Eorzean! We apologize for the delay in response to this issue.

Based on current information, the fact that changing out the video card has caused the issue to stop might be some indicator with either the video card, power supply or possibly the motherboard. Additionally, it also could be related to some anomaly with the combination of hardware components causing some sort of confliction.

We would like to gather a system report of your PC's configuration to see what might be causing to the problem. Go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display'. Copy and paste the details shown and reply back with those specifics.

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
