BSOD in Battlefield 6 — eaanticheat.sys driver crash
Battlefield 6 repeatedly crashes my PC to BSOD during gameplay. Bugcheck code 0x0000000A (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL). I analyzed the crash dumps in WinDbg and confirmed the fault is in eaanticheat.sys, not a third-party driver.
Crash signature (consistent across all crashes):
- Bugcheck: 0x0000000A
- Faulting module: eaanticheat.sys
- Symbol: eaanticheat+4c1623c
- Failure hash: {d544cf09-4735-e698-77c3-5df5924e5448}
- Process: bf6.exe
Troubleshooting completed, no change:
RAM tested (MemTest86, passed), GPU stress tested (OCCT, passed), full clean reinstall of BF6 with manual anti-cheat service removal, Memory Integrity/VBS disabled, Windows Defender toggled off, tested without third-party peripheral software, PCIe power management set to Off, RAM at stock JEDEC (no XMP). Same crash signature every time regardless of these changes.
System: ASUS Z790 Gaming WiFi, Windows 11, game via Steam
This appears to be a driver-level bug in the Javelin anti-cheat, not a system configuration issue on my end. Please escalate to the anti-cheat engineering team. I have the full .dmp files available if needed.
