PC freezing after 10 minutes of playing since 4/16

Hey all, there's been an update, about 285 GB.  I had both an update from BF6 on Steam and BF2042 in EA App. Haven't tested yet let's hope it's a fix.

cpu or ram oc instability. default settings of motherboard/xmp/expo are OC

This is not a solution, but a suggestion that might be worth trying. It does not guarantee functionality, so please think of it as just my rambling.

* Connect devices through USB to the USB 2.0 connectors on the back panel (use only the terminals directly connected to the CPU; devices that go through the CHIPSET, if removable, should be disconnected, most of the USB 2.0 ports on the back panel fall under this category).

* Try starting up with only the minimum necessary devices: keyboard, mouse, and gamepad. (Remove all other devices.)

* Only the GPU should be connected via PCIe.

* Turn off overlays for apps like Steam, Afterburner, NVIDIA App, etc. Stop unnecessary apps. (Also turn off apps included with devices, and stop third-party security software — this will reduce security measures.)

* Set the power plan in the control panel to higher than High Performance.

* In BIOS, make sure the iGPU is enabled by default and then apply drivers.

* After that, once the OS is up, uninstall the anti-cheat program once and then reinstall it.

* Check in Device Manager to make sure all devices are functioning properly.

* Launch and try playing BF6.

For those using many devices or apps, or adjusting BIOS, or if you are inexperienced, it may be troublesome, so whether or not to do this is entirely up to you. It is a bit ridiculous to go this far for a single game, after all — this is just my own rambling. Naturally, the real story is just hoping EA improves things quickly.

That's a shame. EA ultimately needs to fix this as they are the ones who broke it with their stealth update on 4/16/2026

Glad it is working for you. AUTO did not work for me. I had to set it to FORCE before the freezing issue stopped.

I'll never buy Battlefield again! I've had enough. I stopped buying other EA games a long time ago, but I believed this one even though I knew I'd be deceived again. And that's exactly what happened. It's been a while since the release, and there's little content for me personally, and it's just nothing. How long will they keep fixing this problem? Is it really that hard to just roll back the last patch and then look for the cause of this freezing error?! This company and its developers are absolutely incompetent. I won't be playing any more EA games on my computer! 
P.s. 

Even indie studios are fixing bugs in their games faster.

After the latest patch, I started to hate this game and the development studio! Since release, I've had an excellent experience, even on a laptop. Now I have a
7500F
MSI b850 Mortar Wi-FI
RTX 5070
32GB RAM.

As you can see, my processor doesn't have integrated graphics. I've tried all the tips in this thread. With the latest patch, the game freezes after 10-30 minutes! This puts our PCs at risk, guys! I have to press the forced reboot button! Are you crazy?! Or are you forcing inexperienced people to mess around with the BIOS?! How many people can threaten their computers like this. This is simply unacceptable! No other game has ever done this to my PC. They are silent as always. No apologies, NOTHING! A completely broken game that will never be fixed. For the first time since the break, I wanted to return to the game and was enjoying it, but they broke everything again! I don't need these **bleep** surgeries. I just wanted to return to the roots of BF3-4! But the developers turned it into a call of duty. A bunch of stupid infantry maps. It's even more buggy than BF4. The online in the game is dying faster and faster, and they are making a patch that prevents people from playing the game. Are you serious?! Is it that hard to roll back the last update? Okay. In that case, I'd rather wait for the new map to be released in Ark Riders and then go back. No roadmap can save Battlefield 6. The worst release ever for me! A real insult to its community, which once again trusted and was deceived. Each patch is worse than the last, and a lot of time has passed since the game's release. That's what this game deserves! Don't experiment with your computers, guys! I beg you, don't touch the BIOS. It's not worth playing a broken game.

I have tried these fixes before to no avail, but I figured  it's worth a go for nowt lol. They made the problem worse! not better! Now instead of locking up my entire pc after 10 mins and only mid game. Now it locks up after 7 - 8 mins and it even locks up during firing range or main menu. Tried enabling my igpu earlier and that crashed in the plane before even getting into a map on gauntlet and doing that reset my entire gfx and control settings xD

I already got all the windows updates, updated bios, cleaned gfx drivers with ddu and installed the latest version etc etc etc etc  before these steps.

This is taking the Mickey on a huuuuge scale now EA/DICE.

9800x3d, 4080 super, 48gb 6400 cl32 ram

but it s only a workaround, I dont want to enable Igpu to have a game working properly with my RTX 5080.

we want official fix with update of anticheat, game or whatever on windows !

Game is unplayable my end too, been fine since launch! Now it crashes back to desktop no errors either during a match or end of. Just started today! So have they silent patched?
