technically PC is not freezing @MADrag0n only the screen. I can do alt tab yes but i can not see the window that i choosed. I can see them in only pop up window by holding alt+tab. can not do anything.
And ofcourse @Carbonic but let me have that freezing problem again and change the language of OS for you guys to understand first.
By the way when I start searching about the problem online i added the keyword "transitioning" and i came across with some further steps to follow on BF4 Forums:
1. Disable Page File
- Go to System
- Go to Advance System Settings
- In Performance section click on Settings and click Advanced tab.
- In Virtual memory section click on Change... button
- Select each disk enabled with Paging and set setting to No Paging file and hit Set button
- Now all your listed disk should show Paging File Size as "None"
- Press OK button to exist from the menu
- We will reboot pc later once we change more settings, there is no need to restart the PC now.
2. Disable Superfetch
- Open run and type services.msc from run or win8 start screen (make sure applications on right menu is selected) or open services console by other means.
- Find Superfetch service, right click it and go to properties
- In General tab select startup type as disabled.
- We will reboot pc later once we change more settings, there is no need to restart the PC now.
3. Disable Prefetch
- Open registry editor, type regedit (You need to have admin rights)
- Navigate to following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\
- Right click and select Modify on "EnablePrefetcher" and set Value data: to "0" click ok
- Right click and select Modify on "EnableSuperfetch" and set Value data: to "0" click ok
4. Restart your PC.

I have exactly the same kind of freeze! Finally I found someone - we are in this together. :-)
From another topic I was suggested to run Origin as administrator, but that didn't help, I still had freezes. But I think I found a better solution for my rig. I downgraded to an older GPU driver (Nvidia GeForce 368.81, current one is 372.90) and my problem is almost gone. Unfortunately I still had 2 freezes in the last couple of days, but the freezes were much more frequent before. The difference is like night and day.
