Hello, I've been struggling with this problem for six months now. It manifests itself strangely: you can play for a couple hours and everything will be fine, but then it crashes the 6th or 7th game because of it. It freezes so completely that I have to reboot the computer with the button. Sometimes resetting the secure boot keys helps, but not always. What's interesting is that before the freeze, the FPS can drop from 120 to 50-40 for a few seconds, followed by the game crashing. During the freeze, the Windows log shows an error message saying "You need to update your secure boot keys/CA," but updating them doesn't solve the problem. Also, if I wait a few seconds during a freeze, I get a BSOD with the stop code "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION."
OC: Windows 10 22H2
MB: Gigabyte X870E elite wifi 7
Processor: Ryzen 9800X3D (No overclocking)
Graphic Card: RTX 5090 (Undervolted, Driver 591.86)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2x32 6000MHz
The game is installed on an SSD, which passes all integrity checks.
P.S. Undervolting the video card didn't affect this issue; I tested it with the stock card and it didn't help. Moreover, these issues don't occur in more demanding games like CB2077, Wukong, RE9, etc.
Same Issue for me.
2 days ago everything was fine, I played 2 games of operation Augur which both were almost 2hrs.
Yesterday evening I was in another game of OP Augur, 40 minutes or so and my whole system freezed. Didn't wanna play anymore after that.
And now today, about 15-30 minutes and my system freezes. Tried to play 4 games today and everytime it froze.
ASuS ROG STRIX X670E F-GAMING WIFI
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D
RTX 4070ti
2x Corsair Vengeance 16GB 6000 XMP3.0
LianLi Galahad II LCD 360 AiO
1x SL-INF Controler
1x TL-Series 2 controler
2x Lian Li TL LCD Reverse Blade Fans
1x WD Blue SN550 500gb
1x WD Blue SN570 1TB
1x Ediloca EN870 2TB
1x ADATA Legend 800 2TB
1x Generic SanDisk 1TB Sata SSD
At this state this game is unplayable broken for me if a game is not around 10 minutes.
Edit: Yesterday was 10hrs ago tho.

Hi there. Thanks for the DxDiag. It looks like you just updated your Nvidia driver. Try using DDU in Safe Mode to remove it and then install an older driver. Let me know how it goes.

I updated my NVIDIA Driver this morning. The first freezes happened yesterday before the driver update.

Thanks for letting me know. You may want to try rolling back your GPU driver to a previous version. Here are some other suggestions as well.
- Disable any GPU overclocking/undervolting. If you use MSI Afterburner or ASUS GPU Tweak, reset them to stock
- Check your temps while playing. Your GPU should say about or under 80°C and 85°C for the CPU
- Test your RAM by running MemTest64 or OCCT. If it's unstable, disable EXPO/XMP in the BIOS temporarily and test again
- Delete the Battlefield shader cache folder and repair the game in the EA App/Steam
- Disable Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling as a test. Go to Windows Settings > Graphics and turn this off. Then, reboot.
