Battlefield 4 keeps crashing/freezing my pc
Hey guys, so I recently purchased Battlefield 4 in prep for BF1 on my pc. For the first month and a bit the game ran just fine, no issues other than my aim! Then my laptop got serviced and i had to re-download everything, so i got origin, got BF4 and all my other things and was super excited to play again. However; ever since that moment my entire laptop decides to freeze during or just after loading the map.
What happens is I ask to join a server, that little blue bar says joining server...bla bla and as soon as I open the actual game (the black screen with that flickering white bar at the top corner) my pc freezes... completely. Other times i can wait for the map to load and when that blue bar says "playing battlefield 4" or whatever i can then get into the game and play about a minute before my pc freezes again.
I've re-downloaded bf4, punkbuster, geforce experience and all kinds of stuff but still not working. All other games run just fine!
My laptop specs
970M
i7 5700hq
16GB RAM
If anyone can help, please do and ask if i need to give any more info on the issue, not really sure what to do
