EasyAntiCheat Causes Memory-Related System Crash
When I was playing Apex Legends today, my PC suddenly crashed and began Windows Memory Diagnostic automatically. It didn't detect any problem, so I analyzed the .dmp file and found that EasyAntiCheat might be the problem.
I had a similar crash about 20 days ago, also when playing Apex Legends. The dump file said it might be the problem of anticheat and memory, but Windows immediately began its annoying updates after restarting, so I didn't take that crash seriously. Now it happened again, I think the info below might be helpful to diagnose the deeper problems.

I'm not some memory leak expert, so it would be very helpful if other folks in this sub have had similar issues and have solved them, or there are some folks who are really familiar with this kinda problem. I appreciate everyone's help.
