I had to update my BIOS, and it fixed it.
For Intel 13th and 14th Gen systems on the MSI B760 GAMING PLUS WIFI, an outdated BIOS causes severe stability issues when launching games with kernel-level anti-cheat like Battlefield 6. The root cause is a factory microcode bug that forces incorrect, elevated CPU voltages, causing the processor to deliver corrupt data under the intense low-level stress of the anti-cheat software, resulting in instant crashes.
Updating to the latest BIOS applies the essential Intel microcode patches (like 0x12F) that enforce safe voltage limits and completely resolve those launch failures.
Downloaded the update to USB, updated, BF6 works

I went to try BF6 again during the free trial after previously playing before during beta and the previous free weekend or whatever it was and it worked fine. This time I got the BSODs. What I noticed is that the BF6 installer corrupts the EA anti cheat (the installer becomes completely broken) every time. It also affected BF2042 which was working 100% fine prior to installing BF6.

I was able to fix it for 2042 by uninstalling EA AC from it's installer, and letting BF2042 repair it while running the EA app as admin. I then attempted to try the same thing for BF6 to see if it fixed it. I was able to play for about 1 minute before the BSOD came anyways. BF2042 was affected again but this time it could not be repaired. My crashdumps seem to point to the same thing as yours.

EA AC seems to have completely destroyed itself with the installation of BF6...
