Battlefield 4 keeps crashing on PC

Ok so I open up battlefield 4 on PC get into a game no problems, I play for about 30-60 seconds and then the game goes back to the black loading screen then just closes.  So I think it's a crash but it does not say "Battlefield 4 has stopped working" it just closes.  Does anybody else have this problem? If so do you have a way to fix this?

I have a Nvidia GEForce GTX 650 ti with all drivers updated

  • Its started 1 or 2 days ago, same crash problem, its look like its just closing he game, but once when the game stopped I quicly push the alt + tab and noticed that there IS a crash report but its disappear once game completly closed

  • This might be a repost, but I see that some have this issue so hopefully this will help.

    This error might be related to the Punkbuster client.

    To verify that this is your issue - check the Punkbuster error log

    Punkbuster log is located in %HOMEDRIVE%\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\BF4\pb\pbcl.txt

    Error message:

    [11.26.2013 18:56:10] RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe

    Solution:

    PnkBstrA.exe does not exist or is being blocket either Windows Firewall or UAC

    - Update/re-install Punkbuster using %HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\punkbuster\redist\pbsvc.exe

    - Give PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe administrator priviliges. Both Exe are located in %SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\

    - Allow PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe in Windows Firewall.
