BF6 crashing and causing PC to restart

I'm having a problem where every single time I enter into a match I'm able to play for maybe 30 seconds and then my entire computer crashes and forces a restart. I played the beta in august and had absolutely 0 issues with running the game, but now the game releases and this happens. Is anyone else experiencing this? Please fix this EA.

  • If you are facing random crashes, black screens, or BSODs  with EXPO enabled, the issue is likely the primary M.2 slot (M.2_1) closest to the CPU.

    My Solution:

    I personally solved this by moving the Battlefield6 installation files to a secondary drive (D:) located in a lower slot. The crashes stopped immediately.

    If You Only Have One SSD:

    You don't need a new drive, but you must move your SSD away from the CPU lanes.

    Do not use the top slot (M.2_1) directly under the CPU.

    Move your SSD to one of the bottom M.2 slots (Chipset lanes).

    The Cause: Signal interference between the high-speed EXPO RAM and the CPU-connected SSD slot causes instability under heavy load. Moving the data to the Chipset lanes eliminates this interference.

    I have a permanent solution. I bought a new PC. I call bad coding.

  • EA_Aljo​  Dawg these are unrelated to graphics, everyone who solved it, including me, says its CPU. I fixed it by disabling pbo and setting my min and max processor power to 99% in windows power plan. Then to fix the last few crashes i had to get process lasso and park it on my last 10 cores windows doesnt use. Then made a user.cfg file to tell the game to run on 10 cores and 20 threads. Otherwise my cpu would constantly spike up to 100%, idle at 80 degrees in game, and crash. Now i dont top 40% and i idle at 50 degrees, 100fps. 1440p high settings no frame gen. I know my motherboards not the best for my cpu but thats absurd CPU usage for my system, every other game runs perfect. I still get time nudge, get network symbols regularly. Only in bf6.

    I tried this aswell and the game worked better for one day but with this I had a issue, that textures took way to long to render during the rounds but st least I was able to play a few rounds without any crashs.
    But on the second day I tried to play again and I had the same problem again and the whole PC shuts down again.

    did you just move installion files to drive D?  if yes, please move the game back to drive C:  and just put your ssd to another slot on  motherboard.
