Got me a new pc back at the start of September for the sole purpose to play FFXIV and any other games that catch my interest but primarily FFXIV. My old PC never had problems, but for the word go, this new pc has no been stable in the SLIGHTEST where it will just at seemingly random directx crash.

The thing that kills me is how random it is and how vague the error message is that it doesn't help me diagnose what is wrong at all. There are some days I can raid for 2 hours with no problem, but after one minute into a leveling roulette it'll crash. There are times I can stand in Limsa for a couple of hours before it crashes, and other times it'll happen in like 5 seconds of logging on. I could be standing in an empty room in housing, in my fully decked house, alone or with friends. Its like having a ticking time bomb that it could crash a LITTERALLY any second and its anxiety inducing especially being a performer for in-game venues. I'm not kidding when I say this issue has drove me to tears after nearly ruining a performance of mine.
I have been scouring websites and forum posts for ANY kind of fix and literally nothing has worked for me so far:
- Launching the game in windowed, borderless window, fullscreen.
- Updated graphics drivers, used DDU to clear out all drivers before hand
- Used DirectX9
- Adjusted my GPU fanspeed to keep it cooler (the only reason MSIAfterburner is on here, i don't overclock)
- Tested multiple characters
- Updated Windows
- Turned off all programs other than FFXIV
- Capped/Uncapped the FPS
- Turned the graphics way down
- Turned off audio enhancements
- Disabled unused audio
- Disabled fullscreen optimizations
- Disabled all overlays
- Checked my ram to see if it was faulty
- Run a clear boot of my PC
- Disabled fast boot
- Deleted my local game files
- Reinstalling the game twice
- Factory reset the PC
I tried having the people I bought the pc from (who pick the parts and assemble it themselves btw) try to look into it. They ran the benchmark fine for 6 hours with no problem, but the game itself just causes it to crash as soon as I took it home.
The current test as I write this is setting FFXIV's sound to be my headphones rather than default and seeing if that helps any, but I'm just so tired and frustrated after wrestling with this for months.
Any help at this point would be appreciated.
