Anyone else getting BSOD? I can play for 3 hrs and then it happens and other times it will happen after say 20 min. Its at random and annoying. No other game has ever caused a BSOD on my system. I think this is the first ever BSOD ive had thanks to this game.8700kRtx 208016gb ram

Original poster here. I FIXED the issue and no longer get any BSOD.I thought it was very odd that I have been gaming on my system with plenty of other games and never had a BSOD. BFV was the only game causing BSOD. The fix for me was in my BIOS, i turned off all my boost tuning (the asus bios software has normal, fast tuning and extreme tuning modes to tweak the system for better performance). By making all my BIOS settings default without any tweaks/boosts, the BSOD have gone away.From this, I think BFV may not like OC systems or some sort of tweak in particular that we would normally do in the BIOS to get maximum PC performance. I hope this can help others experiencing BSOD as a possible solution.Something may be up that the devs can fix as I played the beta for many hours and never had a BSOD. Why was the release version causing them?

Is your PC power supply powerful enough, 650W+ ?

You could have a hardware issue with your RAM, check it with Memtest: https://www.memtest86.com/

Thanks.

I can’t play beyond say 30 seconds. So I went and played a long match in Squad.

My computer is fine.

BFV is broken.
Crashes to desktop and sometimes hard freeze requiring force reboot.

Hello @Nesrae and @stuartlovegrove,

Which versions of Windows are you both running? Is it 1803 (April 2018) or 1809 (October 2018)?

(I was on insider when i played the beta, on the 18252, never had a problem btw)

I'm only hard crashing, about 10-20 mins into a game. Support says its a heat issue but after numerous hour long stress tests on cpu and gpu stability, they are lying.
