IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR POTENTIAL RESOLUTION ON BSODs & CRASHES & FREEZES & DIRECTX ERRORS !!!
INVOLVES AMD CPU + B650 CHIPSET + EXPO
After all my testing and failing on software, I though this must be hardware issue.
So I downloaded OCCT, and first ran the CPU+RAM Test.
It errored within 1 minute saying core 2 from my 7800X3D has errors.
I then tested the RAM solo, to avoid confusion, and it also threw error after less than 2 minutes.
Then I did what I said I would, I switched EXPO off and set my RAM Profile to Automatic i.e. JEDEC.
I then ran the OCCT again both CPU+RAM and RAM solo, and both tests had NO ERRORS even after 15+ minutes!!!!
So I went back enabled EXPO again, and sure enough OCCT had errors again after less than 2 minutes for each test.
-> So I CAN confirm, that at least for B650 / B650e chipsets and Ryzen 7000 chips, there is a definite issue for Battlefield/Frostbite <- @EA
This is only really visible in Battlefield due to the massive use between CPU and RAM, as I have had EXPO enabled since over a year and only had crashed in Valorant sometimes, which I didn't think much about, but Battlefield crashed/froze/forced BSODs multiple times in a row in an hour, it was unplayable for me.
So if you have issues like these, disable EXPO!
You do not really need EXPO anyways on an X3D processors, non-X3D will see an FPS drop.

EDIT:
I confirm after 4-5 hours of playing now, the issue is fixed!
