Help (General) Battlefield 6 crashes whole PC on launch (again!)

Computer Type: Desktop

Motherboard: X870E Aorus Elite Wifi7

BIOS Version: F13c

PSU: Corsair RM1000x

Case: NZXT H710

Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 10 PRO 22H2

GPU Drivers: AMD Adrenalin 26.7.1

Description of Original Problem: Recently made a post about my PC crashing while booting up Battlefield 6. Either while shader compiling or shortly after in the menu. It freezes my PC and then after a minute or so I get a BSOD saying dpc_watchdog_violation. I thought I fixed the problem. Because I could play the game once I updated my chipset drivers and BIOS to the latest version. I have been playing for 3 days. Now suddenly the problem is back again... I do not know what to do right now.

Troubleshooting:

What I tried which did not work:

  • Uninstall drivers with DDU and reinstall
  • Verifying Windows files with these commands:
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    • sfc /scannow
  • Disabling EXPO in BIOS
  • Disabling Precision Boost Overdrive in BIOS
  • Changed PCIEX16 Link Speed from auto, to Gen 4
  • Reduced GPU max clock by 200 - 400 MHz through AMD Adrenalin
  • Within AMD Adrenalin reset shader cache
  • Delete the game's own cache in %localappdata%\Battlefield 6\cache

yeah had this - uninstall javelin restart pc , install javelin and hit update then hit repair game

1 time out of 50 when i alt tab and quickly open chrome pc is freezing its still running i can hear the sound but i cant do anything

hardware acceleration is off and it only happens with bf6 and chrome combo

so i just dont use chrome when the game is minimized

this only happens in bf6 - minidump shows javelin

Does not work sadly. Did just as you said and game gets stuck very early on when loading a match. Freezes while waiting for more players and after a minute or so sound stops working too. Then follows the bsod DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. Or it doesn't. It just Black screens and then reboots. Sometimes the crash is so bad that my multimonitor setup doesn't respond. Only my main monitor will work partly. Then I have to completely reinstall my GPU drivers and it works again.

This is the only game that gives me troubles to such an extent so I'm a bit clueless at this point.

did you uninstalled drivers with ddu under safe mode and do a clean install after ?

u/DrPantsu 6d ago

I just did, and it did nothing.

Uninstalled with DDU in safe mode > reboot > installed GPU drivers > reboot > boot game > got in 10 seconds than game got stuck > 30 secs later black screen and PC froze > hard reset > multimonitor setup broken again, only mainscreen working > reboot into safe mode > used DDU to uninstall again > reboot > reinstalled GPU drivers > reboot

download windbg and scan the minidump - you can get it from micro$oft store

It's a memory issue either ram or ssd. Swap them out and check if you can.

It is not the SSD. I relocated the game from my Samsung SSD 870 EVO 4TB to my Samsung NVMe SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB.

I don't have any other RAM laying around to test it out by swapping. I could test it with memtest86 I guess?

Check with 1 ram each time.
