So for about 10 days ago i upgraded my motherboard to a Asus z790 apex encore.
I did my OC on my ram to 8000 all good, passed all test memtest5 anta, karhu and y-cryncer 2.5b
I stated playing battlefield 2042 and notice a BSOD when i started the game (within 3 sec after pressing start game)
So i started by set the ram oc to stock, same problem.
Disable nvidia driver in device manager, same problem
Bios set to full defult, same problem
Reinstall windows, same problem
Anyone?

maybe it is not related, but i have similar problem with one of my CPUs. (my 4th AM5 CPU)

this is the only one where if used stock settings i think the voltage is too low for inittial loading of BF2042...and after a few seconds it just restarts the PC. it took me a while to realize and test this out. Its a Ryzen 5 7600X (i own a 7500F, 7800X3D and 7700X who dont have this problem).

BF2042 causes a massive CPU spike at startup. I'm getting almost my stability testing CPU degrees when it starts, its crazy. Thats how I even found a CPU unstable OC one time.
You should properly test if your CPU is stable because almost certainly thats the reason.

Reduce your CPU multi just for kicks and watch how it doesn't happen anymore.

Update!
Updated bios and tested with a new gpu, but still fail.
Next is to replace the cpu and ram.
If thats not Helping i will replace the motherboard.
If still problem, hmm maybe run with only 1 harddrive.

Man this problem have been a massive pain.

As stated already, BF2042 hits a massive power draw spike during startup causing major Vdroop. You might need to take manual control of your vCore or add an offset to your v/f curve until it stops crashing.

If you can't stabilize stock clocks, there may be something wrong with anything sitting between the PSU and your CPU (power cables, connectors, motherboard itself).

I've started using BF2042 for CPU stability testing because it very quickly reveals all kinds of errors (BSOD, WHEA, DirectX errors) without hammering the chip with degradation causing loads.

Overclocked cpu in that game with high frame rates will get intel cpu to pull 200 watts. No different than vst

I run almost exclusively BF titles, and presently only BF2042. I know exactly the issue you are on about. It's caused by AVX instructions. I know this because I watched my cores underclock when the games launch and I was testing the AVX at -5 at the time. No where else did the game once it finally launched, because I didn't get a BSOD, it just simply didn't launch, did the AVX instructions cause it to go -5 except on launch. I am not sure exactly how it all works together, but my fix on my old motherboard and CPU setup was to undervolt the RAM. I am guessing what was happening was the vdroop was pulling too much away from the CPU total not allowing enough for the CPU and the MC on the CPU to work hand in hand. That wasn't solved regardless of what I did in terms of adding voltage to anything but maybe increasing voltage would help you. I, in the end, had to underclock to get it working without hiccups.

I think I have done some progress.
I use a bat file, start BF2024 for 20sec (2 times) then restart pc.
I finaly made it overnight without BSOD.

What I did was run pci-e on Gen 3 (I use a gen 4 riser).
And disable Resize bar.
