I thought the full text of the error may be helpful:

DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed. "). GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280", Driver: 33182

Please try turning off Ambient Occlusion, as suggested by @lxgfusionfoe before (thanks!) over here: 

1. Right click on desktop-> Nvidia Control panel
2. From 3D Settings go to Manage 3D settings
3. In the Global Settings tab, set the Ambient occlusion to Off
4. In the Program Settings tab, set the Ambient occlusion to Off

Jeez, even the community manager is giving bad advice. The AO problem is only present on 500 series GPUs.  As the poster above me said, if you're running an Nvidia card/chipset it may be Nvidia GeForce Experience, but it also may not be. Your most likely cause is your card being undervolted or overvolted, resulting in the card failing under strain, hence drivers crashing. Use the Unigine Heaven test and Afterburner/some equivalent to strain your GPU at 100% for ~30 minutes or so. If your drivers crash, it's a faulty card/voltage. From there, refer to your devices stock voltage and consider options.

If you burn up your card doing this due to incompetence, do not blame me. Be careful with this, this is safe to do *if* you know what you're doing.

As to responce to this idea: 
I have ran (in looping mode, wiht Heaven Benchmark Pro) for 24 hours the Ungine Heaven 4.0 Program, allowing it to run to 100%. 

Benchmark Results: 

GTX 650 TI - 

Ultra mode

FPS:

Lowest: 21 FPS

Highest: 56 FPS

Driver did not crash. 

Enabled Tessellation: 

Ultramode - not startable - FPS < 1

High - Between 20 a 30 fps. 

But still no Driver crash

I start up BF4 in Single player mode to play the campaign - Instant crash with the warning pre-set. 

This is my system: 

Intel i7 - 3770 series

12 GB DDR3

2x 120GB SSD in mirrored raid. 

2x 1TB hdd in mirrored raid. 

Nvidia GTX 650 TI 

Windows 8.1

Everything has been updated (even tried it with a clean slate install of both my Windows and my BF4). 

Nvidia Control panel -> SETTING AMBIENT OCCULSION OFF DOES NOT FIX IT.

Nor does Beta Nvidia Driver.

Nor disabling ingame Origin.

Nor does turning off PhyX.

Nor does deleting preferences.

Nor does anything else recommended in the four some threads about this error I've been making replies in and monitoring!

Patch is OUT said fixing most occurent crash? LETS HOPE
