Battlefield 6

My buddy got this game the day it came out. No issues until 2 days ago... Game crashes to desktop with an error message.

5600x / 32GB RAM / 3070Ti

Found the issue was with 2 files related to his RGB lighting. Renamed those two files to .old and he's been playing since without issue.

So strange that he started playing the game on release day (October 10th) and was fine. He also played the Beta and no issues.

I could have other issues at play because now I have two other games acting strange with hiccups and crashing to desktop.
I wipe the OS install yearly, so it's standard drivers with only Chrome and a few games on this machine.
Time to start part swapping to investigate.
 
If you can't figure it out I'll take your 5090 for a STEEP discount :)
 
Evidence suggests my CPU is to blame, which likely means it's on its way out.
So, I decided to buy all new parts to go with the 5090 (too bad, bootyluvr).
Hopefully should find out late tonight/tomorrow if I just threw away two grand for nothing.

Can I ask what made you conclude the cpu is to blame? Seems weird if battlefield is the only game giving you issues, no?

It's not just BF6 anymore. It may have just been timing.
I launched several other historically stable games afterwards and they started crashing to desktop or giving off weird errors.
I again wiped the machine so just the OS was installed, then installed and attempted to play Fallout 76. Blue screen. DirectX error. Crash to desktop.
I swapped back to the 4090 and experienced the same. I didn't have other spare parts, so I decided to buy all new ones.

It's possible the motherboard is at fault, or the custom CPU bracket is to blame, or the AIO is faulty, or fill-in-the-blank.
I'm going to re-seat everything on the old one, tighten the CPU bracket, re-paste the CPU, disable XMP on the RAM, and see what happens. If it's stable, then great and I didn't need to spend the money. Too late of course.
