Battlefield 2042 crashes to reboot – caused by eaanticheat.sys (Bugcheck 0xF7)

Hello EA Support,

I’m experiencing consistent system crashes when playing Battlefield 2042. About 1–2 minutes after spawning into a match, the PC freezes and then reboots/BSODs.

Steps I’ve tried:

  • Verified integrity of game files (Steam)
  • Updated and rolled back AMD Radeon drivers
  • Repaired/reinstalled EA AntiCheat
  • Ran Windows System File Check and Memory Diagnostic
  • Read minidumps in WinDbg

Crash dump analysis (WinDbg):
BUGCHECK_CODE: f7 (DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER)
PROCESS_NAME: BF2042.exe
IMAGE_NAME: eaanticheat.sys
SYMBOL_NAME: eaanticheat+3221233
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: 0xF7_MISSING_GSFRAME_eaanticheat!unknown_function

This points to eaanticheat.sys as the module overrunning the stack buffer.

System:

  • CPU: Intel i7-13700KF
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
  • RAM: 32gb ddr5 corsair
  • OS: Windows 11

Could you confirm if there are known issues with EA AntiCheat on this hardware/driver combo and advise next steps? I can provide the .dmp file if needed.

Thank you.

  • What fixed it for me after exhausting EVERY option I could find was simply updating my BIOS via USB. That worked like a charm!! Spent over 48hrs trying to fix it beforehand. Hope this helps! I also have an MSI Pro Z790-P Wifi
