It might also help to run the game in borderless-windowed mode from the in-game settings, and to turn off fullscreen optimizations. You can find this by locating the executable file for the game (usually in the install folder) and right-click it to select 'Properties'. Under the 'Compatibility' tab, check the box labeled 'Disabled Fullscreen Optimizations', then click 'Apply'.

Thank you for posting in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Technical Support Forums!
Thanks for the reply!

After the clean install, I ran it on its own for a little before installing anything else and I still got the error. It was at that point that I threw my hands up and reinstalled all of my typical programs. They don't seem to have affected the frequency at which it happens- it seems to happen at random. I've always run my games in borderless windowed as well, so that isn't it. I'll try the compatibility mode for disabling fullscreen optimizations and report back.
