I've been trying out the new Battlefield beta and, while it's pretty fun, I've been hit with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR three times in just four hours of gameplay. This isn't my first time encountering crashes in a beta, but it's strange that I haven't seen much chatter about it in the community. I've checked my Event Viewer but couldn't decipher the logs to find a root cause, especially since I'm not great at reading those. Here are my specs: AMD 5800X3D, RTX 3080 10GB, 32GB RAM at 3200MHz, and two 1TB M.2 NVMe drives from Samsung. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Make sure you have the latest Nvidia drivers installed! New AAA games can be pretty sensitive to driver updates. Just a heads up, sometimes it's easy to miss updates, so double-check that you've downloaded the most recent version.
That WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, especially with that BugcheckParameter 0x10, often points to a failing NVMe drive. It’s a device driver error that’s common with storage issues. You might want to run some diagnostic tests on your drives to see if there's a problem there.
Could it also be related to secure boot settings? I read that some games require secure boot for anti-cheat systems to function properly, or else they might crash.
I did update to the latest drivers, and I'm still running into this issue. I even used DDU to uninstall and reinstall them, but no luck.
