Crashing to Blue Screen During Match
I've been playing Battlefield 6 since launch with no issue.
My PC is a fairly new but well tested rig and I've never had such an issue with this game or any other until now.

Unfortunately, I’m the latest victim. I’ve been having problems since July 27th, and now I’m completely unable to play the game normally.
I now believe that this is a "perfect storm" between faster INTEL 14xx CPUs, buggy EA Anti-cheat and draconian Windows 11 security features. Running on my W10 partition gives far fewer BSODs, perhaps 1 in 10 matches, as well as one CTD in those 10, if I use XTU do downclock the CPU while playing BF6. After the following actions, I went from 1 BSOD per 1 game to 0 BSODs and maybe 1 CTD per 20 matches in W11, and never under W10.
- I have disabled almost all W11 security features except AV, especially CORE stuff and PROTECTED folders etc.
- I made exclusions for the EA-AC and the BF6 exe to negate ALL security features for those applications.
- I downclocked my CPUs cores from 57 to 50 in BIOS.
Using the XTU works also, but that still gave me BSODs now and then, even when computer was idle, with a BIOS warning after reboot. So I believe this BIOS change made my system more stable overall, especially under W11. That's my theory of the blame-game between Intel 14xx + EA-AC + W11, and why none of them recognizes this or takes responsibility for it.
