High End PC - BF1 freezes, forces shutdown or game crash consistantly
System info: i7 7700k (4.2ghz) GTX 1080 (liquid cooled, so thermal throttling isn't an issue) 16gb ddr4 Ram z270 Stinger MOBO Samsung 500gb M.2 144hz 1440p Dell G-Sync Monitor Windows 10 Pro ...
Ok....at the risk of jinxing it, I'm gonna say I found the issue.
I had a random BSOD related to the ntoskrnl.exe kernel, and that prompted me to do some resetting/checking.
I did three more things, so it might be one of these:
- disabled Nvidia overlay
- Reset my CMOS and didn't OC
- Ran a RAM test
Since this, I have played for about 4 hours straight with no issues. I really hate not having my FPS counter in the corner, so I may try to re-enable it in GeForce Experience and hope that it wasn't the issue.
Either way, its annoying to have to disable features on your machine to get a game to work, but oh well. 🙂
