Whole PC Crashes playing Battlefield 1
GPU: 9070 XT
Steps to recreate:
1. Play Battlefield 1 for 30+ mins
2. Whole PC will blue screen and crash
>> I upgraded the drivers to the latest (26.7.1 as of this post), it was worse so I downgraded them to 25.9.2 and it happens less often but still happens 1-2 times a day.
In my Minidumps / large dump and analysing with WhoCrashed it keeps pointing to DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. This could be caused by either a non-responding driver or non-responding hardware. This bug check can also occur because of overheated CPUs (thermal issue).
Before downgrading I was also getting this in my .dmp's
Driver or module in which error occurred: amdkmdag.sys (amdkmdag+141fd8) File path: amdkmdag.sys DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
and a Kernel memory dump was:
Bugcheck name: VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED Driver or module in which error occurred: dxgkrnl.sys (dxgkrnl!TdrCollectDbgInfoStage1+0xD29) File path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\dxgkrnl.sys
According to AMD Support via email (not entirely helpful), they are aware of this issue with Battlefield 6 and have been for a year but no driver update has patched it yet for BF6, so BF1 is doing even worse.
Does not happen in other games that I play.
