BF1 and BFV crashing within 10s of start up

Everything worked fine until about a month ago. Now, whenever I start up BF1 or BF5, it freezes within 10 seconds. Once it freezes, it creates a buzzing noise, and I have to do a hard restart because my whole laptop locks up. 

I read a tonne of other discussion posts, and it seems like everyone is relating similar issues to the EA anti-cheat. I have worked on all the suggested solutions, and nothing has helped. Some solutions I have tried are basically all on this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1goGPBG2Yfo. The only thing I haven't really tried to do is the clean boot and reinstall Windows. Honestly just seems like a hassle and time-consuming. I feel like I am just missing something else. 

I've also tried swapping power modes and all the other suggestions that people have come up with for the EA anticheat.  Like I said, everything was fine for months before, and all of a sudden, overnight, these issues started happening. All I can think of is that I was playing, then Nvidia released a GeForce game-ready update on April 30th and after I couldn't play. But I tried rolling back the driver all the way to December, and it's just the same issue. 

This only happens on BF1 and BF5, but I can run other CPU/GPU-intensive games with no issues. Not really sure what else to do at this point

  • As you've probably read from the other forums, there seems to be nothing else we can do on our end. We will have to wait until EA fixes the anticheat on their end. I've been dealing with this issue since May 3rd so I'm right there with ya. I've tried everything that could work and I get the same result as you. At least we know it's the anticheat that's the problem, but we will not know when this will get fixed since BF1&5 are old games and communication from EA regarding the anticheat is not something they are particularly good at.

    Yea man, I think there are a lot in our boat right now. Definetly sucks that the "fixes" online are so inconsistent for what works for others. I for sure got the feeling from all the other posts I saw and talking to EA support that the anticheat issue is super common and there is no real solution right now. 

    Thanks for the reply man
