bf4 pc keeps crashing
ok i have been playing bf4 on my pc fine for months then all of a sudden it crashes within minutes of starting a match. it says bf4.exe encountered an error and closes. or it will just close and go b...
it looks as though the faulting process id is always different ?
Ya it seems to be :/ Ok lets try to nail this down first do windows update. When done reboot PC then try a clean boot after you do a reboot from updates. Also have a good hard look at programs doing this on your PC the clean boot will help rule them out.

This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.
Disable Mantle if you have it and try Direct X, Turn OFF Anti-Aliasing Deferred in video card settings in game. If you have page file turned off then turn it back on as this can make errors even with 32gigs ram.
Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4. Also look at other programs as Razer synapse, Fraps,EVGA Precision, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, RivaTuner , ASRock eXtreme Tuner, Steam, Skype, aero ,Overwolf extra program in teamspeak and xfire are known to make issues as well. And I am sure more programs not in my list yet turn one off at a time and test BF4. Since last patch more programs now give issues :/
Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some. Reboot then repair BF4 to be safe.
