Madden 27 and 26 Hard Freezes my entire PC
When I get home, I can post my computer specs, but just for clarity, too, College Football 27 works like a dream on my PC. Not even as much as a lag or stutter at any point in my 100+ hours so far. ...

Madden NFL 26 and Madden NFL 27 completely freeze my entire PC at random moments, including in menus and during gameplay.
PC Specs:
Windows 10
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB
32GB DDR4 RAM
MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi
AMD Graphics Driver 26.9.2

When either game freezes, the entire computer becomes unresponsive. The mouse, keyboard, display, and audio all stop working. I have to force-restart the computer. There is no blue screen or new crash dump.
College Football 27 runs perfectly on Ultra settings.
I have already tried clean graphics driver installation, chipset updates, BIOS updates, reinstalling the games, repairing EA Anti-Cheat, disabling overlays, verifying game files, changing graphics settings, testing XMP on and off, and checking Windows Event Viewer.
Both Madden games continue to cause identical system-wide freezes.
