Subject: Battlefield 6 menu session followed by full display loss and forced PC shutdown
I’m reporting a repeatable-looking display failure that occurred while OBS and Battlefield 6 were running. Please correlate this timeline with any Battlefield 6 client and EA AntiCheat diagnostics available.
System:
- Windows 11 Home, build 26300
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
- NVIDIA driver: 32.0.16.2114 (signed; device reported OK after reboot)
- OBS version and Battlefield 6 version: not recorded
Incident, November 6, 2026, Eastern time (UTC−05:00):
- 1:10:23 a.m.: Windows recorded a normal reboot.
- After startup, I launched OBS and Battlefield 6 and reached the Battlefield 6 menu.
- Both displays went black and I heard an error sound/message. I tried Ctrl+Win+Shift+B and Ctrl+Alt+Delete, but the display did not recover. I then manually powered the PC off and restarted it.
- 1:16:53 a.m.: Windows recorded the previous shutdown as unexpected.
- 1:17:34 a.m.: Kernel-Power event 41 recorded an unclean restart with BugcheckCode 0. This records the unclean shutdown; it does not identify what first caused the black screen.
Windows evidence:
- The bounded event review returned no matching Battlefield/OBS application-crash record, Display 4101, NVIDIA nvlddmkm, WHEA, or bugcheck event in the collected interval.
- No new dump was found in the readable Minidumps folder.
- The collector could not read the protected LiveKernelReports or dump-preserver folders, so I do not have a raw dump, dump hash, or WinDbg analysis for this incident.
- The evidence does not prove Battlefield 6 or OBS caused the display loss.
Please advise whether your client or anti-cheat logs show a graphics-device removal/reset or other game-side error at this time, and which specific Battlefield 6/EA AntiCheat logs you would like me to provide. If there is a known issue involving Battlefield 6 with OBS on this configuration, please advise a supported way to reproduce and capture it.
