Battlefield 6 crashes after splash screen – Black screen + instant BSOD reboot
Hi , I'm experiencing a severe startup crash with Battlefield 6 and would like to document it here so others can confirm if they have the same issue.
Summary
Battlefield 6 crashes immediately after the splash screen.
Symptoms:
-Splash screen → instant black screen with artifacts
-A very brief “Your device ran into a problem” BSOD
-PC automatically restarts
-No error message from EA App or AntiCheat
-This ONLY happens in BF6 - all other games run normally
-This issue appeared suddenly; the game played perfectly one week ago.
System
GPU: RTX 4070 Ti
Driver: NVIDIA Game Ready 581
CPU: [AMD RYZEN 5 9600X]
Motherboard: MSI B650
OS: Windows 11 (UEFI + Secure Boot ON)
Storage: NVMe SSD (GPT)
Another PC in my home (RTX 4060 Laptop, same driver) does NOT have the issue, which suggests GPU/driver or BF6-specific behavior.
Already Tried (none fixed the issue)
-Clean reinstall NVIDIA driver
-Disabled all overlays (GeForce Experience, Steam, Discord, Rivatuner, MSI Center, etc.)
-Reinstalled EA AntiCheat (Javelin)
-Verified BF6 files (EA App + Steam)
-Running both EA App and BF6 as admin
-Disabled all background software
-Updated Windows, BIOS, chipset drivers
-Other DirectX 12 games run perfectly
I’m trying to figure out whether this crash is isolated or something affecting more 40-series users.
If you’re running RTX 4070 Ti / 4080 / 4090 with 580+ drivers on Windows 11, could you share:
-whether BF6 starts correctly,
-or if you’re also seeing black-screen → reboot behavior
-or if rolling back your NVIDIA driver made any difference?
Even a short “works for me”/ “same here” reply would help a lot.
Thanks in advance!
