BF6 Crashing Whole PC - When Entering Game

Hello Everyone,

First-time poster here, and I'm dealing with a critical issue I desperately need help solving.

When I try to play BF6, my entire PC hard crashes and bricks itself (requiring a full power-off/on cycle) right as I load a match or immediately after deploying.

I can access the main menu, adjust settings, and use the firing range perfectly fine. The crash only happens when loading into a match (whether with bots or players).

The Critical Problem:
The PC either crashes before leaving the loading screen or a few seconds after I have deployed.
Crucially: This crash completely locks up the PC, forcing a hard turn off with the power button.

What I've Tried So Far (Issues Persist):
Disabled [Screen Space AO and GI] (as suggested on this forum).
Set virtual memory (min/max) to 30,000 Mb.
Disabled the RAM's XMP profile, reducing speed from 3200MT/s to 2133MT/s.

Key System Monitoring Notes:
I have 32GB DDR4 RAM. Usage never exceeds ≈18.3GB when the crash occurs.
GPU drivers are the most up-to-date from AMD.
I have attached an image of Task Manager from the exact moment of the crash (while deploying).

My PC Specs:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor
GPU - AMD Radeon RX 9070
MoBo - ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II
RAM - 32GB = Corsair Vengeance LPX 4x8GB DDR4

Has anyone else experienced a crash that completely bricks their entire PC like this?

Any new fix suggestions would be hugely appreciated!

  • I have found the fix for my crashes and it's very simple. Game was crashing always when it was installed on Steam and on my SSD, now I have it downloaded on my HDD via EA App. Before reinstalling the game to HDD via EA App, I also deleted graphics driver completely using a DDU software just to be sure, but you can just try reinstalling to HDD if that alone helps. It doesn't even make sense, I know, but now my game runs very smoothly now.

    lol Sith. If you were 5yrs old I would simply say to you...this toy is broken, go to your toy box and pick another.

    As Batknight said earlier....this is EAs problem to resolve.

  • Try enabling DX12 (found elsewhere on the web); 

    C:\Users\"USERNAME HERE "\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\steam ---> PROFSAVE_profile. Open the file in a notepad and Find "GstRender.Dx12Enabled 0" and change it to "GstRender.Dx12Enabled 1" to Enable DirectX 12.

    Seemed to have fixed it for me. I was getting crashes every 5 to 45 minutes on average. Been playing for 2 hours now without crashes. It would freeze my entire pc requiring to reset the pc via the power button.

    My specs: RTX 5090 + AMD 9950X3d + 64GB 6000MHz CL26 ram + crucial t705 4TB mm2 (currently used for gaming and windows will switch to samsung) + Samsung 9100 pro 8TB + LG 45gx950 UltraWide -- stable 120 FPS without frame generation on ultrakill.

  • Hi all, so I had this issue and have now managed to fix it. I'll share the long story. I run a B450 motherboard and AMD 5900X. The B450 board wasn't designed to run a 5000 CPU. To do that you have to update the BIOS. 

    Because of this my Windows was on Legacy / CSM mode. To run BF6 I had to convert to UEFI and turn on TPM2.0 and secure boot. UEFI draws power differently to Legacy mode and causes a number of power spikes on the CPU, hence the black screen. The fix:

    Enter BIOS > Advanced > AMD Overclocking > Precision Boost Overdrive.

    Set PBO to Advanced, then set the PBO limits to Manual. You will now see options for PPT (Package Power Tracking), TDC (Thermal Design Current) and EDC (Electrical Design Current). Change these settings to read:

    PPT = 120

    TDC= 75

    EDC= 110

    This will smooth out the power spikes, you'll sacrifice 2-3% of performance but stability has been perfect since.

    Hope this helps. Depending on your set up, you can adjust these figures by 5 each time until you have a stable system.
