Summarize your bug Whenever I run EA Desktop, my entire computer crashes forcing me to manually shutdown by holding the off button. This started happening after I ran out of SSD space while installing the recent BF2042 update (I made space between then and when it started crashing my computer). I have already tried clearing the cache via the App Recovery thing. Specifically, as my computer is crashing, my computer starts slowing more and more over about 10 seconds before my entire computer becomes unresponsive (display freezes with whatever was there when it crashed). I left it for 10 mins or so to see if it would resolve itself but nothing happened). This occurs about 1 min (estimated) after I open the EA Desktop application.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? No idea except for running out of space on your main hard drive (Windows also installed here) while updating a game.
What happens when the bug occurs? Entire computer crashes, forcing me to restart by holding the on/off button on the PC tower.
What do you expect to see? I expect my game to update rather than my computer crashing.

Hoping I don't have to reinstall BF2042 to fix this.
Extra info #2 - decided to just reinstall the game and the download has started with no crash so if anyone else comes here with the same problem, at least know reinstalling the game probably fixes this problem. Will post final update (hopefully) when this works and I'm back in game.
