For some reason. After playing a few games my computer randomly crashes to blue screen while playing BF1 multiplayer. Im not sure why but it is not due to an overheat as that should shut down the whole PC. And the rest of the PC is still active after the crash. Only my screen is dead. I have enabled settings to Disable DX12 as that gave me issues but there is no reason for why my graphics card shuts down at random. EDIT: I am using Windows 10 software. RE EDIT: Also note that there seems to be another bug related to this crash issue. The screen gets a weird colour undertone or it turns a peice of the map impossible to see, as just looking at a certain area causes the screen to go black (Hud still visible) or it becomes extremely bright. As if the lens flare settings just went crazy. Specs: Processor: AMD 970 pro gaming eight-core Graphics Card: AMD Radeon 470 STRIX RAM: 16 Gb ---

Possible reason found. It seems that the current drivers for AMD causes some sort of overload in cards. When will a driver update be sent that allows you to avoid this while playing BF1? ---

If it was my machine I would reformat. Anytime something acts strange I always start with a fresh install of windows. download all the latest driver’s for your machine as well. ---

> [@Lucid0](#): > > If it was my machine I would reformat. Anytime something acts strange I always start with a fresh install of windows. > download all the latest driver’s for your machine as well. My OS is brand new so reformating would make no difference. I reformatted 2 weeks prior. Secondly i am running all recent updates. And note i did comment that i think this is a graphics driver issue. That current AMD drivers are not tuned to BF1 and that may be the reason. So no. I am not reformating again. Since i did that recently it simply wont help. ---

you need to ask AMD about driver updates, and don’t bump, it’s a breach of the forum rules. ---

> [@StarscreamUK](#): > > you need to ask AMD about driver updates, and don’t bump, it’s a breach of the forum rules. Oh… About the bumping. My bad. Didnt know. Wont happen again. And about AMD. Yes i am asking their forums as well. Hope that goes somewhere. ---

it’s more likely to be met with success there than asking them here, I sincerely doubt they read this forum. I’ve not had AMD gpu for a while, but both camps suffer driver issues now and then, they usually sort them asap for big releases ---

Thats something. Thank you for the recommendation. Ill see if AMD forums can lead me somewhere. ---

Well it failed. You were wrong. Just accept that. Anyways back to the point. It seems like the bug only triggers on the Amiens map. Not sure why… ---

use msi afterburner to underclock your card and up the fans to 100% and retry. It sounds like you might have some duff memory on the GPU [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/crash-bug-graphics-card-shutdown/102516.md?page=2)
