Hey nxsanthrax737, try turning off ambient occlusion. This taken from eanils here http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/BF4-DirectX-Error-GetDeviceRemovedReason/td-p/1915085
Right click on desktop-> Nvidia Control panel
From 3D Settings go to Manage 3D settings
In the Global Settings tab, set the Ambient occlusion to Off
In the Program Settings tab, set the Ambient occlusion to Off

You could also try (if you haven't already) installing an older driver version from your graphics card website.

It's weird. You get people that can barely make it through a game without BF4 crashing and then others who have rarely seen BF4 crash at all. What is it that distinguishes one system from the other? Everyone runs either Win 7 or 8, and runs the Dx11.1 or 11.2, and runs the latest ATI or nVidia drivers. The only variable I can think of is third party software. So have you tried a clean boot? I.e. use msconfig to disable startup programs and non Microsoft services and then reboot, and load battelog in your browser safe-mode if it has one ( I know Firefox does). This is just to confirm that no 3rd party stuff is interfering with BF4.
