I am getting the BSOD when launching BF2042 (Steam). Any help would be much appreciated.

I have tried the following:

Disabling and enabling Memory Integrity

Uninstall/Reinstall EAC
Admin Privileges / Security Privileges
Renew Certificates for EAC.
Updated Drivers
Ran /sfc scans and no issues
Verify Game Integrity in Steam
Secure Boot Enabled
Overclock only enabled in AWCC when in performance mode

Try disabling all CPU, GPU, and RAM overclocking.

I went into the BIOS and disabled all the Turbo settings and everything is working fine now. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the detailed info. Based on the KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (1e) BSOD and the involvement of eaanticheat.sys, it’s very likely that EA’s Anti-Cheat (EAC) driver is misbehaving or conflicting with something on your system.
