Warning... this is going to be a long post as I want to give as much detail as possible. Disclaimer, this will involve overclocking techniques which can damage your hardware if you don't know what you're doing so make sure you have experience or read a guide before you continue.
I think I found a workaround but it takes quite a bit of time and stability testing (if you've ever done this for GPU overclocking this should be easy for you... just time consuming). Now, this is based on a few assumptions...
1. Remove overclocks on your CPU/Memory to eliminate those 2 major factors from the equation. We want those running on normal factory speeds and XMP.
2. Your memory has been properly tested at XMP speeds for stability with memtest and you're confident that's not the problem
3. You own a video card which is factory overclocked
4. You are still experiencing crashing with your CPU and memory at stock specs
Now this hopefully leaves the GPU as the target of the crashing as it interacts with the game.
If you own a factory overclocked GPU, try to use a tool like MSI Afterburner and underclock the core speed down as far as it will go. If you are still experiencing crashing, the reason could be because MSI Afterburner only lets you underclock it so much. For example, I have a EVGA 980 TI Classified which boosts to 1417 core from the factory. MSI afterburner only allows me to take the core down -90 which leaves the core at 1327. A reference 980 TI boost speed is 1075 so even if I turned the core setting down as much as it would go, it would still be running at overclocked speeds.
Now the only option you have here is either replace the video card or you can play with that -90 gap and try to stabilize that overclock by increasing the voltage of the video card.
Whatever they coded up when they made this game, it seems like it's pushing hardware past factory stability limits even if you can play all day on other games (this includes other Frostbite games like BF4 or BF1 or even stability tests like MSI Kombuster/Furmark/etc...). My GPU passed all of those for hours with flying colors yet crashes only on BFV. The same may be happening with RAM speeds also as people have been reporting turning off XMP and running auto settings let them play BFV stable when nothing else required that.
So ultimately, the way I got around the crashing was to lower the core speed of the GPU while upping the voltage on the GPU until new stable settings are reached that BFV would accept. The reason why I had to lower the core speed is that many video cards have voltage BIOS capped. Even if I ran the max voltage allowed with the factory core speed of this card, it was still crashing on only BFV.
After each adjustment of lowering the core speed and upping the voltage, I would go into a 64 player game on first person spectate mode and just let it run to simulate you actually playing. You have to guarantee that it'll be stable round after round for at least 2-4 hours (sometimes it would crash after 2 rounds.... sometimes after 4 or 6... keep adjusting until it takes longer and longer to crash as that's how you know you're getting closer).
After your GPU is stable save that profile to MSI Afterburner and load it manually each time or you can make it load automatically on system start. Then you can put back your CPU/Memory overclocks and see if it starts crashing again. If yes then you have to restablize your CPU/Memory overclock. Hope this helps people get this darn game working without crashing.
Hey, here a funny aspect.
I only can run this game for some rounds of until i need to alt+tab oder alt+enter when i disable as mentioned before when i disable my DOCP Ram Profile and force 2133 mhz on ram.
I had some time, i made a fresh win 10 install, it doesnt help. The only purpose a windows has on machine is to run battlefield.
Primary i am a linux users , so needed to give it a shot and tried to get it running with linux.
Guess what? I can run it just fine. There are no problems running BF5 with DOCP with linux.

Yeap as I mentionned, you have to bring it down to the base clock speed. The weird thing is that the founders edition of the 2080Ti is already overclocked to 1650Mhz ... And I have to bring it down to 1350Mhz... This is so stupid. I still get the game freezing quite often (especially when explosions happen on screen or quite a lot of shooting happens) , i can't use HDR, and the my graphics card isn't even working a lot... Never goes higher than 40°C... stupid coding from EA.
