Battlefield6 Crashing computer randomly

Question

I know several people have experienced BF6 crashing their computer since the launch of the game. I have over 400 hours play the game now, regrettably, I enjoy it. Ever since the end of May, I've been experiencing my computer crashing randomly after starting up BF6, and yes, it is only BF6 or BF Labs that does this.
The error codes I get vary depending on the crash, but the most common one was related to EasyAntiCheat.

I've gone through many existing potential fixes, including the cache in nvidia control panel, redownloading easyanticheat, redownloading bf6, uninstalling armoury crate and its accessory applications, trying to verify drivers are working properly, and many more. This has been an ongoing issue for about 2 weeks for me and it's frustrating because the timing of the crash is pretty random.

I also do not think I am overheating at all either, my GPU never exceeds 55C and my cpu never exceeds 75C

Error Codes I've gotten:

irql_not_less_or_equal: what failed = ntoskrnl.exe

kmode_exception_not_handled: what failed = eaanticheat.sys

I would like to add that I get the first error code simply idling in the live BF6 platform after roughly 3hrs, and I get the 2nd error code on the BF Labs platform after idling for 6hrs.

System Specs:

Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K, 3400 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s)

Asus PRIME Z790-P WIFI (bios version = 1805)

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (driver version = 610.47 [I installed this version after the crashing started to happen, but it didn't fix the issue.])

G.SKILL DDR5 (dual channel) 6000MHz, 32GB

Ive gotten the same issue for past couple weeks. No answers have helped. Would love to see BF patch this already.

You might be experiencing the same issue I had, which turned out to be a failing PSU.

In my case, the power supply couldn’t maintain a stable 3.3V rail. It would occasionally drop below spec, causing my SSD to disconnect from the system and then reconnect again. This led to random crashes, BSODs, and errors that looked like driver or anti-cheat issues (similar to ntoskrnl.exe or EasyAntiCheat errors).

I initially suspected drivers, motherboard, or SSD, but after replacing the PSU, all issues disappeared completely.

You may want to check your Windows Event Viewer for disk-related events (such as disk disconnects, resets, or controller errors). If you see those around the time of the crash, there’s a good chance your PSU is unstable.

I also recommend using HWiNFO to monitor your voltage rails, especially the 3.3V, 5V, and 12V lines. If you notice the 3.3V dropping below spec under load, that’s a strong indicator of PSU instability.

Also, another thing to consider: NVIDIA driver version 610.47 currently has known issues with performance. Some users are experiencing noticeable FPS drops with this version, so you might want to try downgrading to a previous stable driver.

as I said in my post, I only updated my GPU driver after the crashing started.... i highly doubt that is the cause.
I am not seeing any disk disconnects, resets, or controller errors from what i understand. I've downloaded hwinfo to monitor if any of those voltage lines drop below 3.3, 5, or 12.... we'll see
