F1 25 – PC crash (system restart, not just game)

Hello,

I am experiencing a serious issue with F1 25 on PC. The game does not just crash to desktop – it causes a complete system crash and forces my PC to restart.

 

Details:

• System: Fresh Windows installation (clean, fast, no other issues).

• GPU driver: AMD Adrenalin 25.5.2 (installed via clean install).

• Hardware: Tested with Cinebench and Heaven stress tests – stable, no errors.

• Event Viewer / Reliability Monitor: Only shows “Windows shut down unexpectedly”, no specific game error.

• Other games (e.g., League of Legends) run perfectly fine without any problems.

• The issue happens exclusively in F1 25, usually during races or loading screens.

• I have tried: reinstalling the game, clean driver install, Windows update rollback, and even a full clean Windows reinstall – the problem persists.

• I also tried forcing DX11 mode by adding -dx11 in EA App launch options, but the crash still happens.

Symptoms:

• PC suddenly resets as if a hard crash occurred.

• No error message from the game.

• Happens only in F1 25.

Conclusion:

Since my system is clean and stable, and other games work normally, this looks like a bug in F1 25 

Can someone help me pls if u have same problems?

    I'm having this same issue. It's so frustrating. The only difference it's that i have a Nvidia GPU. I bought the game almost 2 months ago, and still didn't manage to enjoy it. Lost 4 saves due to corruption files. This week i tried the last thing. Reinstalled windows from scratch, and didn't install any third party software. Launch the game with good hopes. Played like 20 mins, than hard reset again. Only happens on F1. I had lots of other games that drawn 100% from CPU and GPU and never had my pc to shut down/restart. Already left my pc running with afk games launched for more than a week without having heat/power issues. Don't think it's a hardware issue.

    Sorry for my English and for not having a answer. I'm writing here because i want you to know that you are not alone in this matter, and i already search for answers and only found older posts. Since this one it's very recent, I'm hoping we find a solution, because i really like the game, and wish to complete the game career without having to restart.
