    That's good there's no RAM errors. Since only EA games using EA Anticheat are crashing and everything else is running fine on the PC. I think it's safe to assume you've narrowed down the EA games crashing issue to an EA Anticheat software issue that's causing EA games to crash.

    What that EA Anticheat software issue is I do not know. If it were me having this issue my next step would be reinstalling Windows and only installing the Nvidia GPU driver and then an EA game to see if the game will run on a fresh Windows install with minimal drivers and software installed. I would install the game and Windows on the same hard drive.

    There's no guarantee this will fix the issue. If you have an extra hard drive or SSD laying around it will make this test much easier because you won't need to format and erase your existing Windows 11 install. In fact I would unplug the existing drives from the computer to prevent accidental deletion.

Hey so I did as you instructed but sadly there is 0 errors? This is making no sense, how my ram is in good health but get these errors. Just to clarify this is only happening with EAanticheat, for example bf4 which doesnt use it, works perfectly fine.

    I just saw this but yeah, I ended up doing fresh install and that fixed it! Bit extreme option imo, but glad it finally worked!
