BF 6 crashes my entire PC on launch

BF 6 crashes my entire PC on launch – PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (eaanticheat.sys)

System
Platform: Steam
OS: Windows 11 Pro
CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060
Motherboard: Gigabyte B660M DS3H DDR4
Problem

Battlefield 6 used to work perfectly.

After one of the recent Battlefield updates, the game can no longer start.

When I launch Battlefield 6 through Steam:

Steam starts the game normally.
A black Battlefield window appears for a few seconds.
Windows immediately crashes with:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x50)
Faulting driver: eaanticheat.sys
The PC automatically restarts.

The crash happens every single time before reaching the main menu.

No other games cause this issue.

WinDbg Analysis
BugCheck: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x50)

IMAGE_NAME: eaanticheat.sys

PROCESS_NAME: bf6.exe

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:
AV_eaanticheat!unknown_function

The crash dump clearly points to eaanticheat.sys.

Things I already tried:
Reinstalled Battlefield 6
Verified game files in Steam
Completely removed and reinstalled EA Javelin AntiCheat
Updated NVIDIA drivers
Updated Windows
Removed Gigabyte EasyTuneEngineService
Removed Gigabyte App Center
No overclocking
The problem remains exactly the same.

    Known Issue: NVIDIA GPU Driver Crashes on Certain Maps,

    We’re investigating an issue on PC where some players may experience a GPU driver crash when playing on maps with large bodies of water, including Tsuru Reef.

     

    Based on our current data, the issue appears to affect NVIDIA GPUs, with reports more concentrated among players using GeForce RTX 50 Series cards. The issue does not appear to affect all players using these GPUs.

     

    While we continue working with NVIDIA to identify a resolution, players experiencing repeated driver crashes are advised to temporarily roll back to NVIDIA driver version 596.49.

     

    If crashes continue after rolling back, please share your GPU model, driver version, affected map, and any available crash report details in our Technical Issues page on our EA Forums, to help us narrow down the cause.

     

    We’ll provide another update as soon as we have more information.

     

    Thank you for your patience while we investigate.
