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.

Thanks for trying.
I didn't change anything on my system yesterday. So there is no need to roll back for any driver.
The freeze happened before any driver updates and persists after the updates.

On Reddit and Steam there're a lot of ppl with the exact same problem and everyone of them has their build with a AMD cpu (and probably all on an X3D cpu).
If I had one guess, I'd say it's the anti-cheat again. The kernel anti-cheat was many times the culprit for my problems with crashes, but this time it is a whole system freeze.

Edit: Just starting the game froze my system....
Edit2: Also happens on BFV, it has to be the latest anti cheat update.
