Battlefield 6 causing sporadic system-wide BSOD
Hi there, for some time now i got more and more problems trying to play some BF6 since my game would randomly crash my whole system into a BSOD...
The crashes do not occur every match, but they have become more frequent. I analyzed three separate Windows kernel minidumps with WinDbg using the correct Microsoft symbols.
All three independent crashes point to the same EA AntiCheat kernel driver location.
BSOD
Bugcheck:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0xA)
Process:
bf6.exe
Faulting module:
eaanticheat.sys
Symbol:
eaanticheat+0x4a8ebd3
Failure bucket:
AV_eaanticheat!unknown_function
Failure ID hash:
{d544cf09-4735-e698-77c3-5df5924e5448}
The relevant stack section is consistently:
nt!KiGeneralProtectionFault
eaanticheat+0x4a8ebd3
Reproducibility across multiple dumps
I currently have three separate Windows minidumps from different BF6 crashes.
All three show:
BUGCHECK_CODE: a
PROCESS_NAME: bf6.exe
SYMBOL_NAME: eaanticheat+4a8ebd3
MODULE_NAME: eaanticheat
IMAGE_NAME: eaanticheat.sys
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: AV_eaanticheat!unknown_function
FAILURE_ID_HASH: {d544cf09-4735-e698-77c3-5df5924e5448}
Despite ASLR causing the absolute memory addresses to differ between crashes, the crashes consistently resolve to the same offset inside eaanticheat.sys (+0x4a8ebd3).
EA AntiCheat driver information
WinDbg: "lmvm eaanticheat":
Image name: eaanticheat.sys
Timestamp: Fri Aug 7 20:42:31 2026 (6A762717)
ImageSize: 050C1000
Troubleshooting already performed:
- Battlefield 6 game files verified
- EA AntiCheat reinstalled
- Windows Clean Boot
- NVIDIA driver completely removed using DDU and cleanly reinstalled
- GPU driver and system BIOS are up to date
- XMP is disabled
- GPU is running at stock settings
- Windows Core Isolation was temporarily disabled for testing — crash still occurred
- Dedicated Sound Blaster AE-7 / audio controller was disabled for testing — crash still occurred
System uses an RTX 4080 SUPER and a i7 14700k if relevant.
The Windows BSOD minidumps consistently identify eaanticheat.sys, and three independent BSOD dumps resolve to the exact same EA AntiCheat driver offset and Failure ID Hash.
I can provide the Windows minidump files if required.
The Game is bought and Downloaded on STEAM
the reproducible kernel-mode crash location should hopefully make the issue traceable and fixable.
