Played well over 20 hours of the beta without any issues at all. I’ve been attempting to play more than 5 minutes of BF1 and am lucky if I make it 30 seconds on campaign or multiplayer. I haven’t made any hardware or software changes since the beta (I tried reverting GPU drivers to when I played the beta and no dice). I get either “Battlefield 1 has stopped working”, “Origin has stopped working” or my computer will freeze to the point where it needs to be rebooted. **My specs:** - i5 3570K - GTX 980 Ti - 16GB RAM I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling BF1 and Origin, including deleting all of my BF1 related files in Documents and Program Files (x86). I’ve verified the files, used Display Driver Uninstaller to remove all traces of my nvidia drivers, reverted to older version of drivers and back to the newest 373.06. I’ve disabled and closed all security software. I’ve tried running Origin and BF1 as administrator. I’ve tried running BF1 in Windowed, Borderless, Fullscreen, 60hz, 144hz, DX11, DX12, I’ve gone through the different YouTube videos that claim to resolve this. So far nothing I have done has made a dent in resolving the issues. Is anyone else experiencing this? Have any ideas? Help! ---

Possibly hardware side of things? make sure heatsinks are dust free and that the PSU is performing well. Don’t need to experiment with DX12, DX11 is the stable way to go. ---

^^^^ Agree. Sounds like a heat issue or PSU failure. Try stress testing via FurMark. If it crashes you know it’s not the game. ---

It’s not. I and many others have the same thing happening. - I7 3770k - GTX 970 - 16 GB RAM ---

Mine Also. Had a vid card crash a couple times in game play. Thinking of the old days when BF4 came out and what a problem it was getting all the bugs out. ---

Just to rule it out, when I get off work I will blow the dust out of my components, check their connections, and run some benchmarks to see if anything else replicates these crashes. However, I play a wide range of performance demanding games and have been completely stable other than BF1, so I’m betting this is not hardware related. ---

BF1 is one of the most intense games for a rig. stress test your rig as Rev0verDrive so you can rule that out as a issue ---

That’s super weird. From what I can understand of the OP, it’s not an issue of dust and heat. CPU or GPU cooking would throttle and just shut down the computer for safety. From the error message it sounds more like a software issue; drivers, game version or Windows update. ---

Having the same problem. I ran the beta fine but it crashes now every other minute. i5-3570k GTX 980 16 Gb Ram nothing’s overclocked. ---

Same issue. Crashes after 2-10 minutes of playing. Beta played fine. i7 3770K w/ an EVGA 980 Ti SC I’ve tried 4 latest video card drivers - using DDU each time. Installed geforce experience to mess with settings and uninstalled it again. Tried different sound card drivers Ran AV/Anti Malware Ran CCleaner and also cleaned registry Made sure Steam wasn’t running at the same time Checked temps (CPU and GPU never went over 60C and 65C respectively) I even went on an uninstalling spree during a particular fit of rage. Still crashes after a few minutes of playing. I don’t get the DirectX error message - just that BF1 stopped responding and usually Origin takes a dump along with it too. Edit: Updated the firmware on my Samsung 850 EVO Ran in Windows/Borderless/Fullscreen Tried both 60Hz and 96HZ refresh rate in my control panel - with both VSync on and off Ran Origin and BF1 as an Administrator Edit Moar: Played with different settings of Virtual Ram and played for almost 20minutes before it crashed. Edit final: Rolling back to 373.06 and setting Virtual memory to 1024-16384 I got to play for like a half hour. I’ll just hope for a driver update and game patch come out soon that will hopefully sort these things out. ---

I updated firmware on my SSD drive (corsair force 3). Haven’t had any crash after that. ---

exception code 0xc0000005 Memory Violation but that can mean almost anything is causing it. ---

This game is a console/emulated port to PC what do you expect. The default controls are for xbox and ps4… this game is always going to run poorly on PC as long as they keep porting console games to PC. ---

> [@RS-Dolph](#): > > exception code 0xc0000005 > > Memory Violation but that can mean almost anything is causing it. 0xc0000005 is a critical Access Violation error. It has a lot of causes. Registry errors, Virus, DEP, faulty RAM memory, Video driver, page fault (when the processor tries to read data from RAM that isn’t mapped yet) … etc and so forth. My bet is Video Drivers. Noting the number of reports for low fps/performance and crashes. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/bf1-crashes-non-stop-on-pc-ideas/102524.md?page=2)
