Hello, I have an issue only while playing the game, "Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn." On maximum settings, within 10 minutes or less, my computer will freeze, the audio begins to glitch immediately after, and then my computer reboots on it's own. While the computer is frozen, I am unable to use any keyboard command to stop the reboot process from happening. The screen has turned black (most common), white and even green once, but never BSOD. I have been running my other games just fine for years without any issues. Only as of recent with this specific game, "FFXIV:ARR" has my computer begun to freeze up and reboot. It's only on Maximum graphics that it does this.

What I've done so far:
1. I also ran the "Heaven" benchmark on max settings for 30 minutes with no crash.
2. I've ran memory diagnostics to ensure my RAM is 100% fine. All good.
3. I have improved air flow for temperatures exceeding normal ranges. No improvement.

My specs:

OS: Windows 7 x64
PSU: 620w Seasonic 80+ Bronze Cert ATX12V V2.3. (100-240 V 50/60 Hz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
CPU: 2.60 gigahertz AMD Phenom II X4 910
MOBO: FOXCONN ALOE 1.01
Tower Case: Cooler Master HAF 920

Purchased a Coolermaster HAF 920 this week thinking it was over heating issues, but alas, the problem still exists.

- Temps while playing FFXIV:ARR on MAXIMUM Settings -
GPU: 65C
Temp1: 52C
Temp2: 56C
Temp3: 45C
Core: 51C

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the issue. :/

There's actually no option for VSync in FFXIV: ARR.

Have u tried running the game as an administrator? Have u installed the latest drivers? Are u getting BSOD's? Have u tried reinstalling the game?
Have u tried cleaning windows and then installed a fresh copy of the game?
