The error says it's an error caused by the application. Downclocking the GPU and everything shouldn't really fix the problem, as the problem is in the code of the game, messing things up from time to time. Please DICE, fix this ASAP. :/
Here's a picture of the error-message I get: Click me! (Imgur.com)
It appears BF4 itself was not the reason of the crash. Just before BF4 released, I bought a new graphics card (MSI HD7970 Lightning BE). The card is factory overclocked but was not stable. Overvolting the card slightly has fixed it.
I found this out because I started playing Sleeping Dogs, which crashed too. This was the first moment it hit me the BF4 crashes and the Sleeping Dogs crashes might be related; I always blamed BF4 because that was the only game I was experiencing crashes with. Later I found out only very heavy DX11 games crash. I did play other games, but those were not heavy enough or not DX11 so I didn't experience crashes with them.
But, I still have the "BF4 stopped working" crash very often....

Yes I have/had a similar problem. Just before BF3 come out I bought the Asus gtx570 which had a factory overclock of like 10mhz . The card was unstable from the get go because I couldn't get through 3dmark test without it crashing. I had no problems with games until bf3 and it crashed with the same error. After a lot of messing around I upped the voltage from the stock voltage and I never crashed again. Now with BF4 I'm getting the same crashes as I used to, I have upped the voltage to above what worked for bf3 and it still wont run stable, not sure what to do now.
I did both things at the same time so I'm not sure if it was the increase in voltage that fixed it or not. However others are also saying that increasing the voltage has fixed thier issues as well.
