Thanks for the help but no luck this time either. I have tried all steppes above now and played a session until crash between each step. Took between 30 seconds to 15 minutes before crash. I rarely see the error message since 9/10 times the crash freezes the computer. The screen turns black and i get the usual "error tone" in my head phones. When the crash doesnt freeze the computer i get an error message box saying something like: DirectX function "get device removed reason" failed with something something GTX 570.

You know what you could try AMPOV and it may sound crazy but has worked for me in the past. Repair game even if it finds nothing reboot and repair game again. I have had to do this a few times and no idea why it worked like this for me but after repair game and reboot and another repair game it fixed the issue for me.

can you help me now please ? http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/Im-getting-a-fair-bit-of-graphic-issues-bad-fps-on-a-290/m-p/3132968#U3132968

30 mins later ......didnt think you would help.

thanks for the tips guys but still no luck. repared game three times and reeboted in between. played for 10 minutes then crash again. same thing. anything more to try?

have you at all recently changed any of your hardware out if you have i know that from reading else where that if you didnt do a clean install of your windows 7 it can be the issue if you havent it may be you graphics are set high so lowering them may help.

I also came across a solution for someone who had a Gigabtye GPU where they flashed the bios for the card manually

Also i am not sure what brand your GPU is or what PSU you have but i would suggest possibly looking up any issues with them running direct X 11 or any voltage issues (that was one of the issues that came up under the reviews from the gigabyte GPU)

Have you ever tested your windows for errors ? If you want I can give you  clear steps on how to do it?
