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.
I have the same issue with my 7950x3d, 256 gb ram, rtx 5090. Everything was working great until April 15. On the 16th, I installed an update on BF6 and within 15 minutes of launching a game, my pc froze. It was a processor lockup, no response to mouse movement, alt-f4 or any other keyboard presses. The image on screen was frozen. I power cycled my pc. I switched to Battlefield 1 and played the campaign for 20 minutes, and it froze the same way. I didn't have any issues playing other games such as Flight simulator 2024. This looks like an EA anti cheat update issue. Please improve your QA before releasing game breaking updates to the public.
