I don't know why the game triggers some instabilities and other applications do not. There are some possibilities: the game triggers power supply issues, it triggers issues with (automatic) overclocking/CPU/GPU boosting, it triggers issues with bad memory modules, bad drivers etc.

And then there are other things that can affect the system stability. The AMD platform had for a long time issues with PCIe 4.x. Then they had issues with USB which caused problems with AR helms/glasses etc. To fix those issues you should always have the newest BIOS of your motherboard installed. Those issues are fixed with microcode updates for the CPU.

I was also affected by the PCIe 4.x issue and had crashes in FF14. I have switched to PCIe 3 in the BIOS and the crashes went away. Months later AMD published a new Agesa version and the PCIE 4.x issues were fixed.

This are issues which have nothing to do with the game.

The fact that this more got out of have with Endwalker releasing tells me it's something with what they did with the game and not so much the system
I used to run into DX11 errors more related to I think fullscreen mode but changing that had it run just fine.

I wouldn't have bothered initializing my forum account if this were still the case.
But also like I have said, some days it can run 12 hours no issues and some nights will crash 3-4 times in the span of a couple hours, even just sitting still.
Yet everything else is rock solid in performance.
I point my finger at the game and possibly the engine it runs on as it's not a very conventional engine because Enix.... is well... Enix and want to be engine makers in the most convoluted way. Their engine tools are really more catered to consoles rather than PC. Also getting a fix for broken mechanics for a SE game can sometimes take a miracle or just never happen... On PC that is. Case in point, Nier Automata PC had to be modded by the fanbase to fix the game.
