Battlefield 6 crashes my entire PC on launch – PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (eaanticheat.sys)

System
Platform: Steam
OS: Windows 11 Pro
CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060
Motherboard: Gigabyte B660M DS3H DDR4
Problem
Battlefield 6 used to work perfectly.
After one of the recent Battlefield updates, the game can no longer start.
When I launch Battlefield 6 through Steam:
Steam starts the game normally.
A black Battlefield window appears for a few seconds.
Windows immediately crashes with:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x50)
Faulting driver: eaanticheat.sys
The PC automatically restarts.
The crash happens every single time before reaching the main menu.
No other games cause this issue.
WinDbg Analysis
BugCheck: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x50)
IMAGE_NAME: eaanticheat.sys
PROCESS_NAME: bf6.exe
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:
AV_eaanticheat!unknown_function
The crash dump clearly points to eaanticheat.sys.
Things I already tried:
Reinstalled Battlefield 6
Verified game files in Steam
Completely removed and reinstalled EA Javelin AntiCheat
Updated NVIDIA drivers
Updated Windows
Removed Gigabyte EasyTuneEngineService
Removed Gigabyte App Center
No overclocking
The problem remains exactly the same.
Question
Has anyone experienced the same kernel crash after the recent Battlefield update?
Is this a known compatibility issue with EA Javelin AntiCheat?
Any confirmed fix would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info. Some troubleshooting steps for you:
1. Perform a clean boot
Disable all non-Microsoft startup services and applications.
This helps identify whether another kernel-mode driver is conflicting with EA Anti-Cheat.
2. Temporarily disable Windows Memory Integrity
Open Windows Security, Device Security, Core isolation.
Turn Memory Integrity off, restart the PC, and test Battlefield 6 again.
3. Update motherboard drivers
Install the latest Intel chipset, Intel Management Engine (ME), and BIOS updates from Gigabyte for the B660M DS3H DDR4.
4. Check for other kernel-mode software
Temporarily uninstall or disable software that installs kernel drivers, such as:
RGB/peripheral software
Hardware monitoring utilities (HWiNFO, AIDA64, etc.)
Third-party antivirus
Fan control or tuning utilities
Virtualization/security software
Let us know if any of those things help you, please. Thank you. EA_Barry.

Hello,
I have now tried all of the recommended troubleshooting steps, but unfortunately the issue still persists.
So far I have:
Updated the motherboard BIOS from F3 to F35
Updated all motherboard drivers
Reinstalled EA Javelin Anti-Cheat
Reinstalled Battlefield 6
Verified the game files through Steam
Updated Windows and the NVIDIA graphics driver
Disabled all non-Microsoft services and startup applications (Clean Boot)
Uninstalled or disabled VPN software and virtual network adapters
Uninstalled Gigabyte utilities and other monitoring/tuning software
Despite all of this, the problem remains exactly the same.
When launching Battlefield 6 through Steam:
Steam starts the game normally.
A black Battlefield window appears for a few seconds.
Windows immediately crashes with a BSOD:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x50)
Faulting driver: eaanticheat.sys
The PC automatically restarts.
The crash occurs every time before the game reaches the main menu.
I have also analyzed the crash dump with WinDbg, and it consistently points to eaanticheat.sys as the crashing driver.
Does EA know about this issue, or is there a newer version of EA Javelin Anti-Cheat available for testing?
Thank you

Was für eine Scheisse begeht hier eigentlich Battlefild 6 das man den Leuten ins Bios greift und alles verändert,das selbst die normale Arbeit am Pc nicht mehr reibungslos von statten geht,frage mich echt gerade ob ich zur Polizei gehe da Battelfield bei mir illegal ins Bios eingegriffen hat

Your computer loves you too much to let you play Peak AAA Trash, thank him and anoint him with holy oils.

im sorry but this game has leaked power consumption like no other, and thats a You problem EA, not us/ why i can play any game at max settings with no issues, and your game restart, blocks bsod and many other stuff to my PC?? jeezzz

So....
If I get the crux of it here.....
Some peeps are playing on potatoes that would barely run Skyrim modded or FO4 unmodded, but it is EA's fault ?
Tell me I am wrong.
Don't buy Nvidia....just sayin'

Is this an actual joke EA Barry? You don't actually work for EA do yo u .. lol! If so, you seriously think someone should have to go through all this to play your broken game. Here's an idea, tell your Dev team to fix the shi**y game and QA team to actually QA the game prior to production deploy. Never in all my days of gaming has a game completely disabled my GPU (no fans spinning) and corrupted the driver. Your team really is a joke! 7900XT btw. Obviously there are tons of comments in the multiple threads about this but I had to comment here after reading this joke. Ya maybe OP doesn't have greatest box but it was working for him prior to your recent crappy updates. You should have a lot more than 55k playing your game on Steam after such a big season update, wanna guess why you don't....fix your game!

i don't think the "EA" dudes are anything more than a publicity stunt to make it look like the Studio is involved ... like they haven't done a single thing they've "praised" or listened too from this forum otherwise the game would be doing more than 100k on steam .......

Um... a majority of issues with games not working can be the result of outdated drivers. Like, it is PC maintenance 101 that you should keep your drivers updated unless you have a specific hardware or software conflict that warrants reverting to a previous/earlier version. I was getting crashes with my 5090 earlier this week until I realized I was using outdated drivers. It is a real thing as many (but not all) hardware manufacturers often work to improve their chipsets and in the case of NVIDIA they do work closely with the Battlefield devs and continue to improve their drivers so their hardware works better with the game.
This is basic stuff.

SO you offhandedly admit, player likely on a dated potato, and then dismiss the idea that the root problem may be that, they are, wait for it....playing on a dated potato ?!
Sound reasoning and logic there.

Points awarded. Bingo! It is patently ignorant and absurd. It is one's responsibility as a PC owner to know the importance of drivers and to keep them updated.

You folks are funny. My particular drivers are updated and I went back and forth rolling back as many have mentioned but nope still issue (with only) BF6, right after their update. Dude may have been on a potato but was clearly working before update. I get that first step should be updating drivers, most of us do know that, but I wasn't replying to that, I was replying to the insanely hilarious reply by the EA guy. & what about all the updated modern hardware PCs that are having issues? Guess you just wanted to comment to comment, I get it! I'd give you a prize if I had one.

DChen, If you post a newly generated Dxdiag report here, we can take a look and take it from there.
Dxdiag
Thanks. EA_Barry.

Try disabling XMP in your BIOS.
This ^^ and lower ram speed, lower ram timing to see if you get any farther.
