Well you won’t want to know what my solution is...as it’s an expensive one!!
so after doing a bit more reading I started to look at memory leak issues people have bemoaned over this game and previous. Following my crashing which was minutes usually to hours it looked like the ram usage was hitting well over my installed 16GB.
Now maybe it was a problem with my RAM but having not experienced this crash to desktop with no message in other titles I doubt it.
I just installed 32GB of RAM on Monday and since then I have not experienced a random crash to desktop with no message since. I’ll continue to test this over the week but so far so good.
16GB should be more than sufficient and it certainly points towards a coding issue as these leaks shouldn’t happen but for now at my added expense it looks to be resolved.
Too bad for us, I've also been running 32GB of RAM for some time now. I still can't run at XMP profile without crashes.
Does the 32Gb of RAM help at all?
Ive tried nearly everything and still get random crashes.
Its defo on EA / BF5 side, Today i played 9am my time and it was fine, played in the middle of the day when it was busy ( long server waiting etc ) and it crashed 5 times.
Played again earlier this evening ( around 5pm ) for 3 maps and no crashes.
Something is up here for sure!! Can we have an ETA on a FIX ASAP?
Or any "new" suggestions.

Community AdminHey @V--FENRIR--V, I'm the forum admin here. @EA_Blueberry asked me to look into your missing posts.
According to your profile you made 24 posts in total on AHQ. 22 of those you can see on your profile here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/forums/recentpostspage/post-type/message/user-id/14878193
The missing 2 are in our Spam Queue:
Because, you know, when you try to post the same text in the same thread within only a few minutes, the forum thinks you are spamming. I'll go ahead and mark these posts as non-spam and will then remove one of them as duplicate.
That all being said ... I can only advice you to read the Forum Rules & Guidelines again. Specific the sections that deal with discussing moderation, calling out people, and ... well ... spamming.

So then editing was the problem. I made several edits within a short time frame on the same post... So the forum software apparently identified that as multiple posts. Good to know... That wasn't evident when the post just disappeared. So... I'll apologize for that accusation at least.
As for calling out... I don't feel the need to concern myself with it. You lot have been useless here. You're not communicating with us effectively at all. You're leaving many paying customers here wondering just exactly WHY they're wasting their time and giving you money for this game when your dev team has done such an incredibly POOR job in quality control.
When you have issues with your game that requires us to disable the very functions that we purchase our hardware for in order to run it, you are doing something TERRIBLY incorrect.
It has been far long enough. We've waited. We've all spent HOURS of our time trying to track down the issue. We've essentially done the job that your devs were SUPPOSED to be doing. What has our return on this investment been? NOTHING meaningful. Frustration otherwise.
I spent my ENTIRE 10 hours of trial play trying to keep the game running for more than a few minutes without crashing. Had I actually made the full-on purchase, I would have requested a refund after only a few hours of banging my head against the wall like that.
Does EA just NOT care about this? (0_o)
(^ Rhetorical question. I don't care to be consoled with PR babble.)
You OWE us better information and meaningful progress updates. Not this FLUFF we've been getting handed. Many of us don't HAVE much time to sit down and play... So when we DO, we SURE don't expect to deal with THIS.
And yet... HERE WE ARE. So...yes. Given that THIS is what we've PAID MONEY for... EXPECT to be called out until you can give us some semblance of information that DOESN'T equate to appeasement and/or pacification.
