Severe (XMP?) PC crash

Hello EA,

Please fix the X.M.P. crash urgently!

I was able to play BF6 for 20 hours across several sessions.

Sometimes for 4 hours at a time.

BUT: After a total of 20 hours of playtime, an unacceptable crash occurs (black screen on all monitors, crash sound from many running programs, forced shutdown via case button necessary).

Since then, I haven't played BF6 anymore. I'll play it again as soon as the bug is fixed. Because it's actually fun... for the first time in a long time.

Users with similar problems report that it could be due to X.M.P. profiles. That may indeed be the case. But these crashes ONLY occur with BF6.

And I'm not going to disable my fully compatible X.M.P. profile just because of BF6.

No Game errors found. No Windows errors found. All drivers up to date.

Please do something about it.

Best regards,

Michael

    Michaelp800​ XMP crashes are caused by hardware stability issues.

    Motherboard manufacturers spend a large amount of time testing and tuning the memory timings for hundreds of memory sticks on their motherboards. They then create a qualified vendor lists (QVL) of all the memory sticks that have passed their testing. Memory that passes has custom memory timings saved into the motherboard BIOS firmware for each and every memory stick on the QVL list.

    Is the part number for your memory on the Gigabyte Z490 AORUS MASTER QVL list? If not, then that might explain why XMP memory overclocking is unstable and crashing.

    I'm willing to check if your memory is on the QVL list. Download HWiNFO and post a screenshot of your System Summary. It will show the model number of your memory.

    Don't feel bad if this is your first time hearing about the QVL list. I also learned about it the hard way after purchasing memory that wasn't fully compatible with my motherboard. Now I always make sure to purchase memory that's on the motherboard's QVL list for maximum speed and stability.

    If I don't reply to your post then personal message me. Sometimes the forum fails to notify me when someone replies.
