Might be worth checking if your cpu temp / gpu temp is too high.. Sounds like a hardware issue rather than an application issue.

Temp does get high (95°C usually) but I've played plenty of games that also made my laptop reach 90-95°C or so and Apex is the only game that makes my computer crash entirely, so if it really is a temperature issue then there has to be something about this game specifically that messes up my computer and maybe makes temp go even higher than 95°C when I'm not checking, because this is the first time I've had this kind of problem since I got this laptop.

Hey @kiwidis
That sounds frustrating, blue screens are the last thing you want to see while gaming.
I did some research on the file you provided so it took a bit longer to get back to you.
The game itself will never throw a kernel security check failure, this indicated that something went wrong in your memory.
Looking at the file you provided, there was an issue with the Easy anti-cheat, The application flagged a security issue.
This happens when corruption happens or an application or bad actor wants to control this program.
There are a few options that could trigger this kind of issue:
- A program is interfering with the easy anti-cheat:
- Go through the applications you installed on your PC, and look for any software that could interfere with that program. If you ever installed cheats for games, doesn't have to be Apex Legends, these might cause this issue. Removing this software is recommended.

- Faulty RAM
- You said you ran a RAM health scan, what were the results of the scan?
Could you try running two different RAM health tests to make sure?

- System overclock
- Have you enabled XMP or any other overclocks, try to run the normal speeds, and check if this solves this issue.
- Corrupted EAC
- You already mentioned that you repaired the EAC, try a full reinstall of the Easy anti-cheat.

@Zeelmaekersthank you so much for your reply! Knowing what is actually causing the issue is of great help so thanks a lot!
I followed your advice and did a clean reinstall of EAC, which seemed to do the trick for a couple of days as I was able to play as much as I wanted without any blue screens, but yesterday evening my computer crashed twice, so I did another clean install of EAC, but then it crashed again this morning ☹️
About the other possibilities you mentioned, I don't overclock my computer so that can't be it. I also ran one ram health check yesterday, using the Windows memory diagnostic tool, but it didn't flag any errors. I then did another check this afternoon using MemTest86, let my computer do its thing for 3h, then came back and still no errors anywhere.
I guess that means it's something on my computer causing a conflict with EAC? But I've never used any cheating software, so I really don't know where to start looking. Is there a way to pinpoint the cause of the potential conflict?
