    FFXIV randomly causes my PC to completely shut down/restart

    It isn't a crash. No blue screen comes up. Whenever I'm doing content, my PC will randomly completely shut off and then restart. I can play the game normally after it and it usually happens when I'm doing instanced content, but in my experience it hasn't been exclusive to this. Looking at the event viewer I don't get any logs for when it happens.

    No error messages come up when it happens. The system just completely shuts down and reboots.

    CPU has had thermal paste reapplied and the system works correctly otherwise, without there being any issues outside of FFXIV.

    I have the following specs;

    Ryzen 9 3900X (Clock Boost to 4.2 GHz)
    ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus (Wi-fi)
    32GB DDR4 3200MHz
    MSI Ventus 3x GeForce RTX 3070 (Not OC'd)
    Samsung EVO 970 Pro 500GB M.2 NVMe (Boot Drive/FFXIV Installed)
    EVGA 80+ Gold 850W Semi-Modular PSU

    I usually don't have anything else active besides Discord, my web browser, and utility applications for my audio mixer and peripherals. It will happen regardless of what I have open.
