Bit odd that a simple copying of a game from 1 SSD to another could make a computer do a hard reset.
It is odd. But then again FF14 isnt the beset optimised game. Who knows what happens. I saw one error once involving MS Azure Cloud services which coincidentally is what SE are using for FF14. But as I mentioned, that could just be a knock on effect showing an error because of the shut down.
Never had that setup anyway.
I actually found the root cause of it. It seems that setting SSAO to high causes an instant PC shut down. If I leave it then the game runs fine.
It literally reboots the moment I change this parameter in the configuration while loaded into the world.
My only assumption on the previous reboots, is that I had it set to high from the main menu screen and thus had saved this setting causing the constant crashing everytime I loaded the world. When I did a fresh install, it let me log in, and only crashed when I enabled it within the game.

Wierd I'm sure I have everything maxed out will have to check and get back to you
Well, I had a little chat with Dice about it last night. I am starting to think it might be the PSU after all, or the Riser cable im using.
It behaves like a hardware fault, but even though other games are taxing, perhaps the badly optimised FF14 is what pushes the power draw too far. Who knows...
Bear in mind that I had an 11900k with probably the most power hungry mobo on the market right now. I'll do more testing later.

Had a check I have all in game settings maxed HBAO+: Quality, if you have any external setting changed let me know and I'll change mine, though I'm not running a power hungry beast like you
i ordered an 850W PSU, so i should think that would be enough.
I have everything else maxed except SSAO Quality, and its nice to see 150FPS in an MMO. But I experienced a shutdown in CP2077 this morning cranking that to max, so definately hardware related i think.

I'm not sure why it would be a PSU issue if you are using a smaller power supply? I read earlier you were using a HX1000i??
Also if you already locked the CPU frequencies it would limit it's power usage and if it still happens that kinda rules out a PSU does it not? You could down clock the gpu just in case.
I'd guess it's a riser cable issue. They never seem to just work. That's about all I got at the moment. I may have missed your actual PSU but I went with what I read. Hope it at least works for you.

Well my 1000i is about 5 years old now. And GPU is already downclocked along with CPU running at stock. Riser has worked fine until now, so we will see later. I will do a quick cowboy loop with the GPU in slot one and see how it behaves.
edit*
ditched the riser cable. GPU now in slot 1. And the PC still shuts down when enabling the same setting. So doesnt look like it was the cable after all.

5 years isn't old for a PSU especially when they are warrantied for 10 years usually. It could still be the problem but if it's working in everything else I'd guess it may just be a software level issue.
I guess next step is to wait and see with the new PSU. This is a peculiar situation.
It was the PSU after all. Switched the new one in, and everything is good again. Would never have thought it given that AC Odyssey and Valhalla ran fine.
I even pushed it hard with a 5.2 OC 5.0 on other cores on CPU and took my GPU back up to 2.15Ghz and it handled it all. PSU showed my Watts peaked at 505W, so no idea whats up with the 1000i unless the Fan isnt working now and overheated. Hard to see with a PSU cover over it.
Only thing I dislike about the Rog Thor is the OLED forces you to have the Fan upwards instead of downwards which is what the 1000D is designed for. It has a ventilation and filter to help keep clean cool air pulled in.
edit. Out of curiosity I had to check the Peak watts before and after enabling SSAO in FF14. it jumped 60Watts as soon as I enabled it... how bad is that optimisation?

Corsairs RMi 1000w has a bit of a bad reputation, Massive coil whine and odd behaviour, I genuinely think Corsair bought Seasonics rejects for that specific unit, I myself have gone through 3 all showing varying levels of pretty severe high pitched coil whine, My current one after a while gives me a headache.
Gonna be replacing it soon hopefully.

Are the RMi 1000 the same as the RM1000? As I have the latter and never had any issues with it and never linked the Corsair Link integration with it.

The old RM1000 doesnt have a usb connection to use with Corsair link, it's also a different model so you should be fine there.
I have the HX1000i though.
