bf4 has crashing issues on both amd and nvidia atm. There was a catalyst bug causing crashes/red screens, but that was fixed in 13.11 beta 8. I'm sure many of the crash issues are with bf4 itself.
I also never recall having this issue with BF3 with my 6950 in windows 8, and I had 150 or so hours of playtime (It has been a few months since I played bf3 though, mabye the bug was introduced recently?)
Yep, that's why I advised the holding off on purchasing a replacement card until the game itself is stable on a majority of systems- otherwise our problem might be fixed along with the rest. This particular issue is a repeating (bf3 to bf4) AMD-specific problem though.
Here's a thread RE: BF3 and the exact same leak. I "upgraded" to 8 for the extra DX11 features a few weeks ago so I didn't have those problems in BF3. But if you search "bf3 memory leak" on google you'll see a lot of similar things to this thread.

I totally remember that BF3 leak issue, it was back when I had a 5870. I wanted to upgrade anyway so I did to a 6970 and here I am now with the same problem for BF4.
Sadly history really is repeating itself as I had planned to upgrade anyway so I hit the button on a 290x yesterday :P
Well... glad to know i'm not the only one. My memory usage was getting up to 98% with 16 gigs and it was all background stuff, nothing I could close out of. Outrageous. I have since stopped trying to play. Sucks for me that I wasted my money on "Premium."
AMD phenom II to 3.5ghz
AMD 6950 ---- I agree that this may be the problem.
16 gb ram
non SSD
Win 8/8.1/7 (I've tried them all, same problem)
