BF1 occasionally freezes entire PC

As the title says, occasionally when I play BF1, the game slows down visibly almost to a freeze. This slowing down is applied to the entire computer, and actually closing the game doesn't resolve the issue. I have to reboot my entire PC for it to run normally again.

It's not a big problem, as it occurs say only once a month, but it is odd. My PC's fans don't speed up, and BF1 is the only application this happens with. This and the fact that closing the game doesn't fix it, makes me think that it is anti-cheat related.

Anybody out there with the same issue, and perhaps with a solution?

My PC's specs are:

  • CPU: AMD 7600x3D
  • Mobo: MSI Tomahawk B650
  • DRAM: Corsair 32 GB 6000 Mhz DDR5 Expo
  • GPU: RTX 5070 12GB (drivers up to date)
  • PSU: NZXT gold 3.1 850W
  • SSD: (2x) Samsung 990 Pro 1TB NVMe
  • Display: (2x) 24" Iiyama 1080p
  • OS: Windows 11 Home (& Linux Mint on 2nd NVMe), Secure Boot enabled on both OS's
