BF4 freezes/crashing my computer on startup

For some reason, when ever i start Battlefield 4 up, it flickers my screens black (Normally what happens when starting a game in fullscreen) and after leaves the mainscreen black, with the rest of the computer totally frozen. Only able to get it to work again, by forceful shotting it down. 

Tired a full re-install of everything related to origin, still not working. It at a very few times does start up and working as intended, but most times it crashes the pc..

PC Specs is:
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-E, Socket-1151
CPU: Intel i5-6600K Skylake

Ram: Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR4 16GB

GPU: 2x Gtx 960 4gb, running in SLI

    Battlefield titles sometimes have issues with SLI and Crossfire. Have you tried disabling SLI and see if the issue persists?

    So turning off SLI did seem to make it work 1 time. But in my case, if i want to turn it off, i'd have to disable all my other screens frst, then turn off SLI. And to turn it on again, i need to turn SLI on, then enable all my screens again, and hope that it does it in first try, or else i need to force it to shut down..

  • This worked for me.
