Battlefield 2042 freeze whole pc

Game freeze my whole PC, only what i can do is hard reset/turn off on pc case.This happen every single time when i start to play this game, sometimes after 1 match, sometimes after 2-3 matches.I reinstall 3x windows because of this, test my memory with memtest, i updated all drivers manualy and i even used "Driver Easy" software. Windows is updated.

I tried so many things, from configs, to default config of the game settings, lowering graphics to low, to medium.. to turn off all minimal, even tried every possible resolution in menu.. from lowest one to 1080p .. it's always the same, does not matter.. 
Before every launch i check update game on Origin launcher, Repair, I delete files in "cache" folder in my documents, delete all Temp files.. Run game as Fullscreen or Borderles.. nothing works.

In game i have fps from 65 maybe till 90 depends .. and mostly going arround 70-80, even i run Afterburner with RIva Tuner to see temperatures and all data of my components, all runs normal, GPU is constantly max 55C usage is 50-55%, CPU get warmer.. arround 70C and usage is arround 90% most of the time, Ram memory never go over 10000, always is 9000 and something..
I really don't understand what is the problem, minimum spec for this game is i5 6600K, my CPU is from the same year i7.. 
I never experienced something like this, my whole pc get frozen .. and this all happening from 15. November and now is 20.. last 4-5 days i trying to figure out what the hell is going on...

I can provide any pictures or videos if it needed, i just want to know why this happen.. what causes it.. is my pc or .. maybe game is not optimised ( what i doubt lol ) .. 


My specs are:
Processor - i7 6700k

Graphic Card - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 ( Gigabyte version, and i name this because i think is OC by default.. i think )

Ram Memory - 16gb

Motherboard - Asus maximus VIII Ranger

Storage - Samsung NvMe 970 Plus 1TB

    I'm seeing a potential malware on your system with SLPlugin.exe showing up in your Windows Error Reporting. You may want to investigate to see if that is legitimate software. 

    It looks like you need the latest hotfix released by Nvidia. It can be found here. After installing, restart your PC and try launching the game with no other programs or overlays running in the background. When you are running the game, pull up Task Manager to verify if you have high CPU/GPU usage.

  • I had a clan mate have me try something, and I think it is helping.  I haven't had issues, but I haven't been on a crowded server yet.

    - Go to DOCUMENTS / BATTLEFIELD2042 / SETTINGS / and a file called PROFSAVE_profile

    - right click on it and select OPEN.   

    - Use NOTEPAD to open it.

    Change these settings:

    GstRender.DLSSEnabled 1

    GstRender.Dx12Enabled 1

    GstRender.ShadowQuality 0

    GstRender.WeaponDOF 0

    -File and SAVE

    I have been able to play the game for the first time in months.   I don't think I've had an issue yet, but still haven't been on a crowded server.

    Same here guy! The models from vehicles become invisible, able only to hear and see the "people inside them". I am also feeling this game weird since season 2 launch. I tried a lot, a lot of things to try fix this, but crashes. A lot of erros.. 

  • This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield 2042 please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
