    @Blaire_Shadowpaw No ya dont need to update bios if ya do a CMOS reset.
    Check youre MB manual how to do a CMOS rest.
    Some where close at battery , at youre MB is a cmos rest jumper (2 pins) thaty need to be connected for some seconds (while power is disconnected from MB).

    This will do a HARD RESET BIOS , bios will not downgrade, it only reset all bios settings to factory defaults.

    Then test game again without changing settings in bios first !

    Cheers

There also seems to be no errors happening before the bluescreen. I turned off XMP on my bios and got error 0x000001aa. 

idk how to send over the crashdump files on this website, but I've located minidumps from windows and crashdumps from BF2042.

If I need to reset motherboard, I'll try that. Should I try the game before updating the bios again? Or after?

      @Blaire_ShadowpawGood to read this solved youre ISSUE !
      Dont forget to set bios settings again,
      Not all at once, set 1 , save and reboot , test game, no issues ? change next bios setting , test ect ect, repeat till all settings are done !!

      Game On , Have Fun

      Some MB need an hard reset (cmos reset) to solve issues like this one. (especially after a bios upgrade/update) !!!
      Why ? <> its silicon, hardware and not always (most of the time never) perfect !!
