Hi, when it crashes does it give any error? Any further details could help on your problem.
These are some common fixes:
-make sure that you've updated your drivers to latest version
-Do a repair install of the game in Origin. In origin right click your game and from drop down choose repair install.
-Reinstall Punkbuster.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 and select pbsv.exe . Choose 'reinstall'
Install advice for Punkbuster https://help.ea.com/uk/article/punkbuster-technical-issues
- make sure that your firewall/anti virus isn't preventing the game, Punkbuster or Origin from launching.
Also check the quality of your internet connection.
-Run the game as ADMINISTRATOR.
-Go to the games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe.
Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and tick the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.
-Disable Origin in game.
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game
-Run Origin as Administrator
Right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatability tab and tick the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.
-Reinstall DirectX.
1:go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\directx\redist
2:Find file named DXSETUP.exe and double click it (while connected to the internet). Install it. It should update your DirectX install.
3: You might need to reboot computer first.
4: try to launch game.
-Reinstall C++ redistributables.

I know its a long list of things to try but they might help you out. If they do then please leave a comment/XP point
I did all the thing that were in that post and it still doesn't work, when trying to join anything it puts up a window that says:
Battlefield 4 has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.
Hi, what are your PC specs?
Are you sure you can actually run the game?

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.This has been happening to many users since the last patch dropped. Open your task browser, kills the bf4.exe if it's still turned on and restart the game. Unfortunately this is the only way to fix this problem until DICE patches it again.

Did it, still is like "You ain't gonna play this game. Nope"
Should i just wait for the new patch maybe?This problem started for me today. I have been running the game since launch and never had this problem before today.
I have not installed or modified any programs, I patched on Jan 30th and have played daily since. It ran fine yesterday.
They problem is not a crash as such, the blue bar appears stating "Joining server", bf4.exe starts up in task manager. There is no cloud sinc and the blue message bar just disappears and bf4.exe terminates without an error.
I have reinstalled punkbuster, tried repair installation, tried running origin and bf4 as admin, reinstalled the C++ redist and done a dns flush as well as rebooting several times and trying to launch from IE, Firefox and Chrome.
