BF2042 Crashes/Freezes my whole pc.

I can play for up to 30 minutes at a time, before battlefield crashes my whole pc. Sometimes it will just shut off like the plug is being pulled, but most of the time it just freezes, so that I have to reboot my computer. I have updated my drivers, validated game files, unplugged unnecessary peripherals, checked my temps, etc. I don't think its actually anything wrong with my system, as this doesn't happen in any other game. Basically I am out $60 for an unplayable game (Im not eligible for refund). Hopefully this gets fixed, there have been quite a few other people having the same problem as me. I am running a Gtx 1060, Ryzen 7 2700x, and 16gb of ram. My system is basically at recommended spec, and im not having any performance problems with the game, just the fact that it crashes my entire pc.

    Hi @00BAA


    Would you mind sharing a DxDiag when you've got the chance? You can find more details on how to pull one up check out the EA Help website. Once you have the text file please attach it to this thread. Thanks!

    I have a few audio drivers that are unsigned, or are signed under someone other than microsoft. This is because I am using a virtual audio cable to have more control over, and improve on my microphone quality. The program is called vb-audio cable, not sure if it is open source.

    Got it, thanks!

    Have you tested the game with the virtual cable disabled to see if that makes any difference? For instance, if you disable it in a clean boot is the game still crashing?
