have you disabled onboard gpu? (if I have mine enabled, I cannot get bf4 to ignore it, not that I want it enabled anyway :D )
That's a common problem with all of the drivers from nVIDIA. It is particularly bad for laptops with the Geforce Optimus cores (which have no front end, so there is no option to disable the Intel IGP on those).
Try this SpotMastaFluffy it may help as it has fixed Direct x issues in the past as crazy as it sounds and keep me posted please...
Control panel -> Time, Language and Region -> Region -> Administrative tab
Change Language for non-Unicode programs To English(US)
I found out what the problem was. For some reason I had nvidia drivers for a 440 card on my computer up and running so although my computer knew I had a gtx 560 it was running 440 drivers. I had also contacted nvidia and they gave me a site with program that finds all GPU drivers and uninstalls them.

It worked well.
Thank you all for your help.
Cool 😕mileyhappy: I marked your post as the solution.
Ok so it didn't work. I was a little early on celebrating. So the program did it's job of deleting the drivers, but what I didn't know at the time was that my computer auto installed them on reboot. No matter what I do once my boots up and sees those 440 drivers aren't installed it installs them. I should probably explain a bit more...
My computer came stock with a nvidia gt 440 card that I have since replaced with a gtx 560. Well my computer seems to have a hard time letting go of that old 440. Every time I delete those drivers it auto installs them. Thats what was causing my issue. Games are seeing that I have a 560 card, but read the 440 drivers. You would think that after installing the new version of nvidia drivers it would override it, but it doesn't. What happens is I us the DDU program and it detects the 440 and 560 drivers. I run the program and it deletes them both. The computer reboots and then proceeds to auto load the old 440 drivers. I reload the nvidia suit and until I reboot my computer it will read the 560 drivers, but the next time I turn my pc on its back to reading the 440 drivers. I can't figure out how to stop the auto load of the 440 drivers.
Get everything you need diver and programs on desk top then unplug the net .
Try running CCleaner and do the Clean and Registry portions both. It may be software conflicts and/or registry errors.

Also, try disabling some of the crap that you may have starting up with Windows. If your tray is full of apps, they may be conflicting with the video card driver.
You may want to uninstall the video card driver, run Driver Sweeper from safe mode, and have it remove any remnants of AMD / Nvidia drivers it finds. Then re-boot and install the latest driver for you card and OS.http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4266-driver-sweeper.h...
