Battlefield 4 freezing
Okey, so heres the deal...
So i recently built my first gaming pc, with some cuite good specs, following;
64 Bit Windows 7 Ultimate
Intel core i7 4790k @ 4.0ghz
Asus Rog Maximus Hero VII
Asus GeForce 780 3GB GDDR5
16GB RAM G.Skill Ares
Corsair RM750
NZXT H440 Quiet Edition
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Kingston SSD NOW V300 120GB
So my broblem is at the title says, BF4 just freezes after a couple of minutes of playing. The screen freezes and an irritating high-pitch "buzz" is all i can hear from my headphones. When the freeze happens, the PC also stops responding, and all i have as an option is to hard-reboot. Running in windowed mode doesent seem to help either, as sometimes the game freezes and it is posseble to force it to close via task manager, or it just freezes just like when in fullscreen. The freezing both accour when in single-player and in multi-player, with about 5 minutes of fully smooth gameplay followed by the freeze.
At luanch of the game, it starts up just as it shoulds. I have a solid 90-130 FPS whan having the presets set to medium. I follow up by the opening scenes, and the total playtime before the game completly freezes is about 3-6 minutes. I have trided numerous times with different settings, and came to a conclusion that i dont even have to be in-game before the game freezes. I can simply just start the game and let it run in main menu, and then after about 5 minutes it crashes. I have despretly been trying different soulutions for this problem, with no working solutions. i have;
Reinstalled the game, both in different locations on my hard drive and on the original install directionary
Reinstalled Windows, and also performed repairs of it
Updatet ALL (and i mean all) off the drivers, both for GPU, mobo, programs like DirectX, Visuals C++ and the .NET framework
Tried to play the game both updated with updates and patches installed, and from stock version, with origin in offline-mode, causing it unable to update the game.
I also have to mention that i have tried both installing OS and the game on both harddrives, both seperatly and on the same ones, meaning;
HDD - OS and BF4
SSD - OS and BF4
and
HDD - OS, SSD - BF4
HDD - BF4, SSD - OS
This because rumors have said that the V300 model SSD isent working properly, and that just adding a SSD to your rig could cause theese problems.
I have at the moment unplugged the SSD and am now rinning both OS and BF4 on my hard drive, but are still having theese problems.
Because BF4 is my mainly game this is an very serious problem for me, and i have been stuck with my rig unable to play for 6 days now, and this problem i starting to getting to the edge of me and is driving me crazy.
It also seems like i am the only one getting this problem without finding a working solution, i have checkt many guides on how to troubleshooting this problem, but nothing seems to work.
I am realy grateful to anyone thet spares some time to help a poor fella in need 🙂

Awww na just a brain fart and we all get them more so when a very nice custom rig is not working correct in BF4. Same issue I had for a very long time with this game with win 7 and then win 8.1. My PC never acted up until I was in BF4 and in the end it was a windows issue so trust me when I say I fully understand how you feel. My Rig specs ....
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
M/B ASUS Maximus V1 Hero
Memory - 32 GB DDR3 Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866MHZ
Win 8.1 64bit
power supply HX 1000W Modular power supply
Video Card - GTX690
Monitor - Samsung MD230X3 Screen resolution 5760 X 1080
Case - Antec Twelve Hundred
Intel ssd x3Dont reinstall windows again even if the scan finds issues in your windows just reboot and run scan again. If it cant repair lets look at win 7 repair first before a format I am going to try and save you a format if we can. But lets cross that bridge when/if we come to it.
I have a whole post on how to fix BF4 when everything else has failed to fully fix it and since I did all my steps and steps I got from others I now have zero issues in BF4 so no worries we can get this fixed your Rig is nice BTW :} If I am not kicking and your working on this then this is my post on how I did it.
