BFV and mass effect hard GPU driver crash
Ok so a problem that is persisting even after bugging tech support and doing numerous types of TS to solve is screen going funky on both games and desktop causing it to distort and bring up green/red...

So, your game does not start correctly at all, so of course it is not a temperature problem :D
Now it looks like your monitor does not like the combination of Resolution and Refresh Rate the game wants it to output in fullscreen mode.
Go open the file PROFSAVE_profile in your documents/Battleflied V Folder with the normal text editor and look up the following values:
GstRender.FullscreenRefreshRate
and
GstRender.ResolutionHeight (should be 2160 for 4k, drop to 1080 for 2k)
and
GstRender.ResolutionWidth (should be 3840 for 4k, drop to 1920 for 2k)
The game has a strange habbit for not correctly detecting the maximum herz / refresh rate of your monitor, mine should be 120hz but the game puts it to 119.879997 strangely.
But it does not matter much for me because it supports GSync and Variable Refresh Rate so I do not really notice it while playing.
Try put in values your monitor supports, e.g. 1920x1080x60hz (try 59 too) and see if this helps.
Or you can try to set GstRender.FullscreenEnabled to 0 and see if the game at least starts so you can go to the options...
EDIT: Oh just found in your DXDiag:
Native Mode: 3840 x 2160(p) (59.997Hz)
so this should be the values you should aim for in the file.
EDIT2:
My posts are deleted as spam. I write this 4 times already. This is the last try.
Ok will try this and see what happens.
OK so no luck there either the screen was more stable that is for sure it did not work in 4k but i will try the 2k and see if that works.
Also EA help via phone or chat is a no go they referred me to here because apparently they cant sit a specialists with me and look at this stuff...Can you type here what settings exactly you tried?
Ok so tried both 2k and 4k resolution settings that you had in your response and also set the refresh and hertz to 59. None of that seemed to work was still crashing the gpu driver. on top of that for some odd reason it removed itself from the steam library and had to re-install it into the app. had to restart the pc 4 times and one of those was because steam would not start up at all.
So as of right now its only doing this to BFV and the new masseffect. Can do 4k in anything else fine...
Whats next?
