DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

im getting this hung error for my gtx 560m..... its word for word what everyone is getting here. also have the newest driver installed

Try using a config file to lock your fps at 60fps, it seems to really help get rid of this crash.

If it was that simple, I'd think Dice/EA would address this. I'll give it a shot though.

All I can do is say what worked for me.

I've changed my GTX580 in SLI mode with one ROG GTX780 POSEIDON, after that a message "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG" appair.
I've tried some fix:
reinstall DirectX fomr BF4 folder (nothing change)

chang power optimization in Nvidia control panel 3D setting to maximum (nothing change)
reinstall ultimate driver from nvidia after Drivers Sweeper (nothing change)
reinstall Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit with Nvidia driver 337.50 Beta (nothing change)

What I've to do for playing BF4 ??

My configuration is: Alim 1100W, MB Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z, Intel i7-3770K, 32GB Ram 1600Mhz, GTX780 Poseidon.

 I'm running a GTX 670 OC from MSI. For the first year or so it ran fine, but lately it crashes on graphically intensive games while running on stock (read: MSI overclocked) settings.

I haven't tried upping the voltage, I'd like mine to stick around as long as possible.

What works for me in this and other games is using MSI Afterburner (any tuning software should work) to reduce GPU and Memory speeds by ~50MHz, or right around the reference level. I also have raised the power limit to 105.

The Error "Device crashed due to badly formed command" or similar is only given by Battlefield. The rest of the games just crash and windows reports their executable stopped working. It's not a DX problem, it's not a BF3 or 4 problem, it's a GPU problem. 

From what I've read, upping the voltage should work too, just keep in mind this *will* raise your heat levels (higher voltage = more current = more heat generated) and *may* shorten the life of the card.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm posting this around so others having the same problem with BF3 and now BF4 will be able to figure it out quicker than I did.

I had the same problem. I tried everything, from re-installing windows a few times to driver updates and underclocking GPU. Then at some point I started watching the GPU VRAM usage and saw that it starts to increase but never decrease. I saw a pattern that whenever it shifted data to system RAM the crash would happen. I ran MEMTEST on my RAM and found out that some of RAM modules are faulty. Over the weekend I was overclocking my system and I ran the RAM too high which killed my overclock. Since then I kept my CPU and RAM on stock.

Anyhow, guys for me it was my RAM that was causing this device hung error.

GPUs: R9270x +CF+ 7870GHz Edition

UPDATE: My RAM was under volted, after setting it in BIOS no more errors in memtest.
