Blue Screen of Death / ntoskrnl.exe

So whenever I play BF6 it causes a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with a ntoskrnl.exe error. Somtimes it happens within 5 minutes and sometimes it only happens after 2 games. The dmp files point to the issue being something in eaanticheat.

I have tried so far:

- updated all drivers
- completely removed and reinstalled NVIDIA drivers with DDU
- Tried to repair the installation of EA Javelin Anticheat
- uninstalled and reinstalled EA Javelin Anticheat
- tried to repair the BF6 installation
- sfc/scannow found and fixed a few things but it changed nothing
- tried a Windows Memory Diagnostic which found nothing

This issue was also present in the OpenBeta but I just brushed it off for being a beta.
The game is fully released, the issue still persists and I don't know what to do anymore. No other games or programs on my PC are having any kinds of issues.

Please fix.

    Didn't have the issue in the beta, but it's definitely present now. Extremely irritating.

    Hey, this happened to me as well - what fixed it for me were to disable EXPO/XMP in BIOS (if you've enabled it) so my RAM no longer runs at higher MHz. Something suggest that BF6 makes the RAM unstable when overclocked (Only had this problem in BF6).

    Update: I seem to have found a fix.
    I saw a steam post (https://steamcommunity.com/app/2807960/discussions/0/600786083350120420/) and since I am running an intel 13700K I tested it.
    Using Intel Extreme Tuning Utilities I actually downclocked my CPU from 5,3GHz to 5,2 GHz and I have not had a single BSOD in the ~5hours of gameplay since.

    No it doesn't actually, my cudimm ram is oced at 8000mts, I got fans on it and a stable motherboard, never ever crashed on bf6. It's just that BF6 is extremely CPU, RAM AND GPU intensive, it will just highlight your system instability you always had hidden more than ever.

    Ram is the most overlooked component and yet the most problematic when it comes to app crashing weirdly. 80-90% of pc crashes actually come from this despite showing direct X error sometimes. Everyone should test their ram on hard stress test for at'least 4-6 hours when enabling EXPO/XMP. That's where you start to understand that gaining a few fps isn't a magic trick.
