For anyone interested, I managed to fix this myself, with a little help from Google. The problem is caused by EA's new anticheat messing with the memory/Asus motherboard and is solved by enabling Core Isolation in security settings.

You might not have that option available (I didn't) in which case you'll need to enable Virtulisation in your BIOS. Once done, it might not turn on because of a conflict with driver pxhlpa64.sys. This driver seems to be to do with DVD writing (who still does that?!) and can be disabled by renaming it and a little registry edit, see here https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/184600-pxhlpa64-sys-preventing-core-isolation-3.html#post2472112.
After that, Core Isolation can be turned on and voila, no more BSOD on exiting the game. Happy days.
