Issue Description

Battlefield 6 is the only application capable of crashing my system.

Typical sequence:

* Game launches normally.

* I can play for several minutes.

* My weapon suddenly disappears.

* Audio stops completely.

* I can still move and shoot for a few seconds.

* Battlefield 6 crashes.

* Windows immediately displays a BSOD with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF).

* The PC automatically restarts.

Troubleshooting Performed

* Clean installation of Windows 11.

* Fully updated Windows.

* BIOS updated to the latest version.

* Secure Boot enabled.

* TPM enabled.

* ReBAR tested both enabled and disabled.

* XMP tested both enabled and disabled.

* Memory tested at JEDEC 2666 MHz.

* Three different AMD drivers tested using DDU.

* MemTest86 completed without errors.

* CrystalDiskInfo reports SSD health at 97% with no SMART errors.

* SFC completed successfully with no integrity violations.

Additional Testing

* Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark completed successfully.

* Cyberpunk 2077 runs normally.

* Call of Duty: Warzone runs normally.

* OCCT 3D Adaptive completed without errors.

* OCCT Power completed successfully while stressing both CPU and GPU at 100%.

I also tested launching Battlefield 6 while the OCCT Power test was already running. Battlefield 6 still crashes, and the crash occurs even faster.

Event Viewer

Only Kernel-Power Event ID 41 is generated after the restart.

No BugCheck Event 1001 is recorded.

No Minidump is generated.

Additional Notes

The issue started recently without any hardware changes.

Battlefield 6 is currently the only application capable of reproducing this problem.

Because the failure begins with missing assets, followed by audio loss, game crash, BSOD and system restart, it appears to be related to Battlefield 6, the graphics pipeline, DirectX 12 or EA AntiCheat rather than a general hardware failure.
