Thanks the reply. 

There no BSOD, at first the game freezed, sounds still goes on, and after few seconds it just reboot

VelocityX I used it to force the led color for the RT3080, I close it down every time I play DAV, but I'll try not running it at the startup and Ijust double checked there is no GPU overcloking active.

Hard crashes without a BSOD are almost always hardware-related, and most of the time they are related to power issues. 

What PSU do you use. (Vendor and type.) 

Try to repair the game. 

(EA app: Game Library > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)  
(Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)

Then preform a Clean Boot:
A clean boot is a process that starts Windows with a minimal set of services and startup programs. This can help eliminate or find software conflicts.

How to perform the clean boot:

  • Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  • Type “msconfig” (Without the quotes.) > Enter.
  • In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab.
  • Check the box that says, “Hide all Microsoft services”.
  • Click Disable all. (Make sure the EABackgroundService remains enabled.)
  • Go to the Startup tab and click Open Task Manager.
  • In the Task Manager, disable all startup items that are activated.
  • Close Task Manager and go back to the System Configuration window, then click OK.
  • Restart the computer, the PC will start into clean boot mode.
  • Test the Game

    2. Additional Steps (Inside the Clean Boot Mode)
  • Ensure your virus scanner and other security software are disabled.
  • Disable Afterburner and similar software.
  • Make sure any CORSAIR/ASUS/RAZER software is disabled or uninstalled.
  • Ensure your GPU and CPU are not overclocked.
  • Disconnect all peripherals except for your mouse and keyboard.
