BF 1 display driver crashing

So BF 1 always causes my display driver to crash. About a minute or so into playing the screen goes black and stops receiving a signal. I still hear the game sounds but there is no signal to the monitor so I have to force shut down/restart. I can play other games like Titanfall 2, Overwatch, Hellblade and don't experience this problem at all after hours of playing. I've already tried using DDU to totally wipe my display drivers and start with fresh ones. What is most odd to me is that I've played BF 1 in the past during a free trial and never had a problem but just recently bought origin access for BF 1 and TF 2 and now BF 1 doesn't work.


My specs:

GPU: GeForce GTX 970
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
Memory: 16 GB RAM

HDD: Hitachi 500GB

SSD: Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB

Power Supply: Corsair CX 600
Current resolution: 1920 x 1080, 60Hz
Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

Thanks for your time and help - much appreciated

    Problem solved! 

    Is this a known issue at NVidia Geforce Experience software? 

    Both Teams EA and NVidia Software should work together at a solution.

    Hey @Myopia_NL,

    sorry, must have skipped the clean boot part - my bad.

    GeForce Experience itself doesn't necessarily have to, but can cause issues. Since you usally have quite a lot of auxiliary processes running, it can be tough to determine which ones interfere in particular. Anything that's more than one overlay for starters. If you have GeForce Experience, Origin In-Game and maybe even a Discord Overlay, that can be a bit too much.

    Glad to hear you got that sorted - enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    I'm beginning to believe that this is a power supply problem - it IS over 6 years old. I've ordered a new evga 850w power supply and I'm going to test it. If i'm wrong I'll return it and keep working on this. ☹️

    It seems to have been the power supply dying because I haven't experienced a crash for a few days now. My guess is BF1 was the most intensive game I was playing causing the PC to crash at first but it started happening in other games after that. So now I have an 850w EVGA PSU and everything is fine. Thank you to everyone who posted here trying to help, say's a lot about the battlefield community <3

    Hi @Art0ficial

    Glad to hear that the problem is solved. Honestly, I would have never thought that the badboy is the PSU, probably because I using laptop. Thank you for sharing with us this experience! Have fun with Battlefield!
