I feel for you I have a similar issue that is well documented here.
"Game disconnected: you were kicked from the game"
SP & Test range fine, muliplayer only works with old graphics Nvidia card but since I upgraded to AMD have had almost no success getting into multiplayer match. Tried so many things over the last two weeks its getting silly. On recent patch I noticed the error message displays alot quicker, I now have to run in windowed mode so I can see the error message on battlelog whilst map is loading then the game crashes before deploy screen.
I have a support ticket open with punkbuster which began 10 days ago but no joy so far.
I am seeing this everywhere. Some were saying Punkbuster is failing to start as a service in Windows and is causing the issue.
Will test more tonight when I can.
I have this same **bleep**.
Played the game last night. Stopped and shut down the PC
Got home after work today, Start up PC for the 1st time again
Start BF4 & Join a Server.
10 Seconds into the game, Black screen with blinking sh1t at the top right
Game closes. No Error
Reinstalled / Updated Punkbuster, DX, Repaired, Drivers everything. Same **bleep** for the last 2 hours on every server I join.
EA is pathetic with BF4. Great game when it works. Wish a company like Blizzard made it instead tbh
Looking through the forums here and on Battlelog this is happening to many, not all are Win 8.1.
One even formatted, which is tempting me, to downgrade to 7 for the meantime.
Will update later after testing Punkbuster further.
