No idea what's causing this but I'm not far from a complete OS re-install/reverting back to Windows 10 Vanilla (NO anniversary update)
Solved! Resolved! Fixed!
How I did it:
1. Limited my FPS to 70 in settings.cfg in the Battlefield 1 installation folder (/ProgramFiles(x86)/Origin Games/Battlefield1)
2. Uninstalled MSI Afterburner
3. Installed EVGA Precision X (Left clocks as factory)
4. Rolled back to August Nvidia driver for good measure
What was happening?
My CPU (6600k) was bottlenecking my GTX 1070 so much that anything over say 70fps for more than 15-20 minutes would just seize up my bf1.exe.
This is a very niche issue and will only effect a handful of users. It doesn't seem obvious at the beginning because a 6600k will normally sit at 80-100% utilisation during gameplay. However it seems that anyone with a 144hz monitor will experience bottlenecking so bad that your game will eventually seize up after not too long. The game is pushing so hard for that 144fps that you'll end up with BSOD, Kernel Power, or bf1.exe has crashed issues.
I hope that this works for anyone reading who found this post from google. If you wish to contact me please do not reply to this thread as I will not be notified. Please private message me, that way I will get a email notification and can respond to you as quickly as possible.
