Intermittent freezing/stuttering in Battlefield 3 & 4 PC

Recently I've been experiencing lots of stuttering and intermittent freezing in Battlefields 3 and 4. There are periods occurring around 2-3 times every mintue during which my frames drop to <25 and the game freezes for maybe half a second. This hasn't ever happened before, with BF4/3 or any other game, and I've caught a few other people complaining about this as well. So far, I've tried repairing the BF4 install, rolling back my nvidia GPU drivers to 340.52, and lowering my settings. Any ideas of what may have went wrong? If there are any other specifics I missed, please let me know. Thanks everyone!

Specs:

i5 4670k

GTX 760 SC

8 GB RAM

Windows 7 Home Premium

battlefield 4

One issue that I did not see mentioned is Origin in game which is known to cause lag and stutter issues even on Nvidia machines.

Turn it off and see if it helps.
To turn off Origin in game log into Origin, in the upper left hand corner click on the word "Origin" in the menu, and then click on "Application Settings". Next go to the "Origin in game" tab and uncheck the "enable Origin in game" box.

Interesting about raptr, thanks for posting that guys.

Thank you so much for the response, ragnarok. As weird as this may sound, you've made BF4 playable for me again haha. I really appreciate it man!

Can you post your PC specs and what you have tried to fix the problem so far that didn't work so we don't double tap solutions that didn't work?

I too have this issue and I'm on a clean install of windows 10 1903. Disabling origin in game makes no difference and I'm on a ssd which is very fast. No other game seems to be affected at the moment.
