So for a few months now, every once and a while BF1 would crash my entire computer. This wasn't that big of a deal but now it does it every single time I play, about 30min or so into the game. I have already contacted support, they told me to clean boot and then if that doesn't work, reinstall the game. I first clean booted that actually worked, and when I clean booted I made sure that only a few programs that I really wanted to start up with the PC would start up. But once I restarted the PC the game started crashing again. Then I reinstalled the game and that did absolutely nothing. So what should I do? I couldn't think of a startup program I have enabled that would make this happen. Maybe it has something to do with origin?
Solved! Go to Solution.

To answer your questions I am on Windows 8 running DirectX 11
No it's the minimum specs for BF1 for RAM and CPU as shown here @Nano1778I https://www.battlefield.com/games/battlefield-1/tech In fact most people who experience issues here on AHQ in BF1 and BF5 have only 8GB of RAM as both games can easily use 10GB in game on systems with more RAM. Both games are also extremely CPU intensive so having both RAM and CPU at the minimum isn't the best for performance and frequently causes issues.That being said I believe your issue actually lies elsewhere.
Since doing a clean boot solved the issue for you until you rebooted that tells me that there's a third party program causing the crash. Are you using any overlays such as Origin in game, the Discord in game overlay, MSI Afterburner, Razer cortex etc? If so disable them and try to play again. If that doesn't solve the issue I recommend to clean boot and slowly re-enable each program until you find the program causing the crashing issue.
Also for good measure I'd also scan your windows installation for integrity violations as described here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update/system-file-check-sfc-scan-and-r...

Your CPU and RAM are at the barebones minimum to run BF1, are you on Win 7, 8.1, or 10? If on Win10 are you using DX11 or DX12?

I doubt that's barebones for BF1 because I rarely get any fps problems and I am by far not on the lowest settings. That's not the issue.
