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.
