Monnezzarolvlmax here's what Google Gemini AI says about (c0000005).
Error code c0000005, also known as STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION, is a critical Windows exception indicating that a program attempted to read, write, or execute a memory address to which it does not have rights.
Common Causes
Hardware Issues: Faulty RAM is a primary driver, but unstable CPU settings (especially on newer Intel chips) can also trigger it.
Corrupt Files: Damaged system files or corrupted game/application installations.
Driver Conflicts: Outdated or incompatible graphics and motherboard drivers.
Third-Party Overlays: Software such as antivirus, game mods, or input device drivers (e.g., non-standard gamepads).
Recommended Fixes
Check System Files: Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run sfc /scannow. This tool scans and repairs missing or corrupted system files.
Test Your RAM: Use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool (press Win + R, type mdsched.exe) to check for physical memory errors.
Update Graphics Drivers: Visit the official site for NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel to install the latest stable version of your GPU drivers.
Verify Application Files: If the error occurs in a specific game, use the "Verify Integrity" option in the game launcher (like Steam or Epic Games) to repair corrupted data.
Disable Background Apps: Perform a Clean Boot to determine if third-party software is interfering with the program.
Adjust CPU Settings (Advanced): For users with high-end Intel CPUs (like 13th/14th Gen) experiencing crashes, lowering the "Performance Core Ratio" by 1 in the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) has resolved the issue for some.
I suggest disabling XMP memory overclocking and see if BF6 stops crashing.

Thanks but that's a generic AI answer. I have already tried every single step in that generic list (SFC /scannow, memory diagnostics, clean DDU driver install, Clean Boot, verifying game files, etc.) and none of them fixed the issue. Also, XMP is not the culprit here (I'm on a 9th Gen CPU, so the known 13th/14th Gen instability fixes don't apply) I have analyzed the Crash Dumps in depth, while initial logs pointed to FSR resource failures, even after a clean reinstall on an NTFS drive and a full registry reset, the crash persists as a generic Exception Access Violation (c0000005) inside ntdll.dll, specifically flagged by APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOADED: 1. This happens even with FSR disabled/clean configs. The persistent AVRF flag on Windows Build 26100 (24H2) confirms this is an OS Kernel/Anti-Cheat conflict triggering system mitigations, not a hardware instability or a simple graphics setting, this is a core incompatibility that only the devs can fix
