Crashing/ Overheating

[HoneyBear]

Hey, I have had FF14 ARR since launch and have had no problems with the game up until around 2 weeks ago. After around an hour or so of play my computers fans go real loud and my screen goes black. I figured my computer was overheating, so I bought some new fans which keep it way cooler, but I am still having this problem. Anyone else with this problem or any solutions? Thanks for any responses in advance.

are you saying laptop?

Turning down the detail settings should make the GPU work less so there would probably be less heat, but if you don't want to do that best you can do is make sure you existing cooling system is as dust free as possible and/or ambient air temperature is as low as possible and/or upgrade to a higher GPU (if possible, probably not if this is a laptop!) and/or upgrade the cooling system/replace fans. Hope one of those was some help!
