Reinstall Microsoft C++ For my game PC's I install both x64 and x86 as it does not hurt the PC
NOTE>>> you need to select the x64 or the x86 file depending on what architecture your computer has. To find this out, Click Start, right click on "Computer" and select "Properties". Under system type is should say "32-Bit Operating System" or "64-bit Operating System". If 32-bit operating system, download the x86 file, and if 64-bit download the x64 file.

In game video settings right side set to custom and set everything to low but last three turn them off ....
1-antialiasing deferred off
2-antialiasing post off
3-ambient occlusion off
on left side be sure vertical sync is off and under video... And if you want resolution scale to under 100 like 80 or 90 will up your FPS... find what works for you lower it slowly.
All this should help your game run more smooth if it does not then you need to turn off any extra programs you may have on in background on your PC. To test for this do a clean boot then run BF4 ...
Try a clean boot : run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.
Below are programs known to make issues in BF4
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 Asus Game First Service, Razer synapse, Razer Cortex, Qualcomm Killer Service , 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.
