BF6 hard freeze since Season 3 - RTX 5070 Ti - Kernel-Power 41

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my situation because I've been dealing with this for a while and I've tried absolutely everything.

My PC completely freezes every single time I play BF6, always between 10 and 20 minutes into a match. The screen goes black, the keyboard and mouse stop responding, the sound cuts out, and the whole system locks up. The PC stays on — fans are spinning — but Windows is completely dead. The only way out is pressing the reset button on the case. No error message, no BSOD, nothing.

The most frustrating part is that this ONLY happens in Battlefield 6. I play Warzone and other heavy games on the same PC with zero issues, for hours, no problem at all.

**My specs:**

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

- RAM: 48GB DDR5 @ 6000MHz

- Motherboard: MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI

- PSU: Gigabyte 1000W 80 Plus Gold + 1200W UPS

- OS: Windows 11

- NVIDIA Driver: 596.49

- Platform: Steam

- Game version: Season 3 (1.3.1.0)

**Here is everything I have tried — nothing worked:**

- Updated BIOS to latest version (March 20, 2026)

- Disabled XMP/EXPO in BIOS

- Manually set RAM frequency to 6000MHz (was at 6400MHz)

- Enabled X3D Gaming Mode in BIOS

- Disabled PCIe Link State Power Management in Windows

- Reinstalled EA Javelin Anticheat manually using EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe

- Verified game files on Steam

- Closed all overlays (Steam, Discord, GeForce Experience, MSI Center)

- Tried launching with -dx11 — still freezes

- GPU driver is current (596.49 from May 12, 2026)

- Checked temperatures — all normal during gameplay

- PSU is more than enough, power is not the issue

**What I found in Windows Event Viewer:**

Every single time the freeze happens, I get a **Kernel-Power Event ID 41, Category 63**. The BugcheckCode is 0 and all parameters are 0x0 — meaning the system died so suddenly that Windows couldn't even log what happened. No minidump, no crash dump in the BF6 folder either.

I also found **EA Javelin Anticheat Event ID 1000 with ExitType: 95 (271)** — the anticheat is crashing abnormally during gameplay.

I want to be clear: this is not a hardware problem. Everything else runs perfectly. This started after the Season 3 update and I know I'm not the only one — I've seen multiple people with RTX 50 series GPUs reporting the exact same thing since the patch dropped.

Please EA, look into this. The game is completely unplayable right now.
