BF4 freezes after a few minutes of gameplay and I get an error saying 'Display drivers have stopped responding and have recovered.'Drivers: 14.4Important parts my PC:8 GB Kingston HyperX RAMAMD Radeon R9 280XIntel i5 4440Contacted several EA Advisors and their methods were useless. Uninstalled and reinstalled latest drivers too. I don't know what to do. Please answer this is extremely urgent.

Something to do with aero. Putting it to custom wont allow windows to disable aero to "improve" performance which can cause crashes.

Dealt with this issue for a few months with my 7770 HD got it fixed right before I upgraded, the issue was with the hardware, not the game, it may start only in games but will eventually do it whenever it's under stress. I would suggest RMA'ing your card, it fixed my problem, also be careful when you overclock, it can become unstable and cause issue like this (If you are OC'd turn it off) also check your temps and make sure they aren't too high (AMD cards are known to run hot).

Try this stuff and do all settings , look at every program on PC turn off one at a time and test BF4. Disable Mantle and try Direct XOthers 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 Fraps, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, ASRock eXtreme Tuner 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. Since last patch more programs now give issues :/Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some. Reboot then repair BF4 to be safe.Another thing to try is re- install origin only.Run the game as Administrator:Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.Run Origin as Administrator:Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.Disable Origin in game:In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in gameOrigin Cloud Storage turn it offOrigin, settings, GeneralIf all this fails to fix it then try this...BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop or trash.2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.3-Repair BF44- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.

Anybody with a solution?? EA maybe?? 😕mileysad:😕mileymad:

None of the methods you mentioned worked. I recently unparked all my cores and I am getting good performance but the error is still there ☹️ I'm thinking of RMA'ing the card.

Get new video card diver or beta on desktop you need to get you a fully clean install of it after steps below.

Try running CCleaner and do the Clean and Registry portions both. It may be software conflicts and/or registry errors.

Also, try disabling some of the stuff that you may have starting up with Windows. If your tray is full of apps, they may be conflicting with the video card driver.

You may want to uninstall the video card driver, run Driver Sweeper from safe mode, and have it remove any remnants of AMD / Nvidia drivers it finds. Then re-boot and install the latest driver for you card and OS.http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4266-driver-sweeper.h...
