BF4 DirectX function GetDeviceRemovedReason failed with dxgi_error_device_hung

So the getDeviceRemovedReason DirectX error dates back to BF3 and it still happens in BF4.  I have tried every remedy the internet has claimed solves the problem and I still have not managed to get this error to stop happening.  Things I have tried include:

-Turning on/off ambient occlusion

-Updating to most current or beta gpu drivers

-reverting to older gpu drivers

-running in window mode

-over/underclocking my gpu

None of these have actually solved the problem.  Furthermore, the wording of the error message has changed.

"

     The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent

     by the application.  This is a design-time issue that should be

     investigated and fixed.

                                                                                                                                       "

And just for posterity, I run with Win7 64bit and a GTX 660 Ti.
