Have you tried to clear your cache folder.
To clear the game cache in Battlefield 2042, you need to.
Go to C/Users/Username/Documents/Battlefield 2042 or just go to the Document folder on your system.
Open the Cache folder.
Click Ctrl + A keys together to select all the files.
Right-click and select Delete to delete all the files.
Give this a try first.
P.S. This would be better in the tech support section!

Yep, tried that as well. Tried everything fix I can find.
What I don't understand is how it continues to happen even after restarting the game and/or shutting down/restarting my PC.
The only way to fix it completely is to restart my PC and boot into my motherboard bios.

Have you changed any settings in the BIOS prior to this issue?
Not change anything, I've reset all settings to default. Nothing in the bios should affect the game though. Maybe if I overclocked my RAM, GPU, or CPU that might cause issues but non of the other settings should cause issues.
1. Set BF2042.exe to high priority
(This setting causes the game to be recalculated first, which increases the FPS, and if the CPU is very heavily loaded, the game doesn't stutter due to queuing [I mean waiting for all other processes to recalculate before the CPU recalculates the game].)
2. Turn on this below & restart PC (a reboot must be performed for the settings to be loaded.)
3. Turn On XBOX Game BAR
4.Ddo this as i attached in manual.jpg & settings.jpg
5.Turn on Game Mode in Windows
6.Look in the Nvidia GPU 3D settings for something like :
GPU power management, if you have this, then set it to maximum performance for the game BF2042.exe.
Sometimes the default setting for power management mode gets the clocks wrong (in the sense of turning on turbo mode too late etc).
On Nvidia, changing from optimal power mode to adaptive mode helped me.
7. In AMD/Nvidia GPU 3D set texture filtering mode to performance or high performance
8. set FPS limit in GPU 3D Panel (If you have a 144 HZ monitor , set 144 FPS and if 120 hz then 120 fps etc.)
9. Turn on Image Scaling
10. After make point 6-9 restart PC (a reboot must be performed for the 3D settings to be loaded.)
These points (1-9) what I described above improved my performance with BF2042 and not only with this game.
11. If Above didn't helped, turn on thread optimalization in Nvidia 3d Panel (This will result in a slightly lower FPS, but will relieve your CPU which should fix the slutting problem) & Restart PC
Fortunately you haven't changed anything in the bios, changing settings / updating the bios has no effect on the game.
If you suspect instability of any component do a stress test , programs for this : Prime95 (torture stress) or RealBench (simple stress test) or others.
During the stress test keep some HWINFO or other program open to check if something is overheating, the stress test uses 100% of the components, the game only uses about 60% even if Windows shows 100% (the stress test uses all the component calculation modes, the game only uses certain ones, so less power consumption during gaming).
If you are completely unfamiliar with the stress test, ask an experienced colleague to do it for you, as there are few cases of someone damaging their PC with a stress test because, for example, they have too little cooling/ power supply 🙂 An experienced person will catch these things quickly, a layman not necessarily.
I don't update either the bios or the system and everything works ok for me. I Update only GPU Drivers from time to time.
