Memory Management BSOD

Issue started with the end of August update.

Since I've had this issue I have tried:

- The core isolation setting on and off

- Uninstalled and reinstalled 8x

- Repaired the game

- Completely wiped my PC

And none of this has been effective.

Every other game that I play runs perfectly fine with no issues including other Battlefield titles and the new Madden.

I've run out of options on how to fix this. Here are my specs if it matters.

13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13620H

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU

Windows 11

16gb of ram

    @ElectricFgtr  Disable page file, delete pagefile.sys.
    Then open command prompt as ADMIN and (keep an eye at it to see if any error get fixed) enter:
    Checkdsk /f/ r

    Reboot system, dont cancel checkdsk during boot, let it run, could take some time.
    Checkdsk done, and fully booted enable pagefile again, test game.

    Pafefile will be regenerated !

    Cheers

    Disable pagefile:

    • Open System Properties by right-clicking on This PC or My Computer on your desktop, and selecting Properties.
    • Navigate to “Advanced system settings” and click on the “Settings…” button in the Performance section.
    • In the Performance Options window, go to the Advanced tab and click on “Change…” under Virtual Memory.
    • Uncheck “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives”.
    • Select the system drive with the large pagefile.sys, choose “No paging file,” and then press Set.

    @Rokebo73  I ran chkdsk on both C drive (OS) and D drive (where the pagefile was), even tried running the game while pagefile was completely disabled, still getting random crashes.

    I figured I could check the RAM as well due to the memory related error and ran a few instances of Windows Memory Diagnostics, everything seems good.

    Not sure what else to check now.

    @AntiCheatWard  Thank you! I hope to be able to play smoothly again soon haha. My latest crash was again followed by a BSOD. This time the code was "KERNEL_APC_PENDING_DURING_EXIT", which is something I already stumbled upon a few months ago when playing around with Core Isolation > Memory integrity due to this post  I found on here.

  • Kind of a necropost but I figured I should update the thread if anyone stumbles upon here from search engines:

    In my case I was able to fix the issue by tweaking the RAM in BIOS settings:

    I ran a thorough memory scan via MemTest86 and it turns out that my XMP profile was unstable, altough everything in the system supports those specs. Battlefield managed to trigger that instability.
    I added a bit of voltage to the pre-set XMP profile and the errors disappeared, however I ended up setting a manual OC with lower MT/s and voltage but better timings and 1:1 ratio with the CPU as it gave me better performance and the game has been running flawlessly.

    TL;DR: For anyone having these kind of issues, try disabling XMP and run MemTest overnight to make sure there is no issue with your RAM.
