Update: MSI Released a BIOS update only a few days after I posted this which had "- Implemented the anti-cheat mechanism." in its update description. This did NOT resolve the issue.
I also tried running chkdsk /f on the C drive (where the game is installed), which did not resolve the issue. Still seeking a solution.
Hello friend!
Penguin been reading your post and have a few thoughts about what might be going on here and things you can look for when PC freezes, will do the best to keep this in regular English for the most part! 😀
What you described is that the CPU stopped executing instructions. (Your crash would be called a Kernel Deadlock in Penguin universe)
Which is usually not a normal game crash, not a driver crash, and also not due to overheating.
Also likely not due to RAM instability considering how stable your system is in other tasks.
Primary clue Penguin sees from this description is that this only happens in 👉 BF6
What's special about BF6 is Javelin EaAnticheat & potential for Kernel conflicts.
Important for general troubleshooting 👉 These Kernel Conflicts can also have a root start from connected USB devices, BF6 crashes and even connection issues been observed earlier just bying having at first glance a seemingly unrelated USB drive or device connected to the PC, make sure to have only what's necessary to run BF6 connected to the PC when doing any further testing.
EaAnticheat run at kernel level, if they break whole system can freeze.
(Troubleshooting tip for Ruling out things one by one: Since this seems to be game specific BF6 If you by chance have access to for example EA Sports FC 26 for testing purpose? it would be possible to see if the same issue happens in that game or not as well , considering that game also use Javelin EA Anticheat and may reproduce similar issue)
Then the issue may be Javelin EA AntiCheat specific instead of game specific.
Feel free to post a screenshot of Windows Event Viewer error logs or share more System errors and Warnings, 👉 even seemingly unrelated errors can sometimes be in direct conflict, especially since BF6 use Javelin EA Anticheat
There are more suggestions and tests available, but this will do for starters.
(Penguin suspect this could also be related to your X3D cpus CPPC preferred cores settings and the Global C-state Control, Normally C state should be set to Off in the BIOS when testing) 👉 This will require a whole new post
On EA Patch note page they mention
Update 1.2.2.5 for Tuesday, March 31
Stability: General improvements have been made towards Crashing and Stability issues.
BATTLEFIELD 6 GAME UPDATE 1.2.2.5
If you don't find a solution by then hopefully this patch will also help resolve the game Freezing issue.
Depending on what's included in ''General improvements have been made towards Crashing and Stability issues''
Big Fan Of Battlefield!
Many thanks!

Suspected RAM and then thought about a bit more. I then remembered that i had something similar on a friends pc. The new PSU was at fault. Frostbite was "spiking" the GPU, game ran smooth with FPS limit on to 60 fps but when higher fps the system just hung like you described.
