PC. Crashing and Reboots
I'm at my wits end with this game. One day I can play three rounds with no problems then a crash to desktop. The next day or two I can not get through the first round without it crashing to desktop...
Forum Discussion
There is no clear troubleshooting step for crashing issues but we got several responses from our community that some of following steps worked to solve the issue:
- Nvidia – Reverting to older drivers - GTX 690 - 331.65 crashed non-stop. 331.40 beta from sept and in 3 hrs not one crash. Another player mentioned that rolling back to 331.58 stopped his crashes.
- Setting In-game audio to headphones.
- Update Direct X and Microsoft .NET Framework
- Disabling NVIDIA High Definition Audio (Single Player)
- Run as administrator (for BF4 and BF4x86). You could also try changing security permissions on the origin games folder giving users full control instead of just read
- Nvidia Control Panel > Configure Surround > PhysX > PhysX settings > select your graphics card. Then Origin > Repair Install
- Microsoft Visual C++ x64 and x86 versions of 2010 and 2012 uninstall. Reinstall with Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3
- Lowering settings from ultra/high to medium in x64 or low in x86 fixes the issue, always happening when Vram fills up to about 1.6 GB of VRAM.DirectX updates/fixes mentioned did not help.

Thanks for getting back to me.
Should have mentioned that I'm on Windows 8.1 and a clean install. Also that the single player had no problems, played fine. I've also noticed that if the server I am on becomes unstable or laggy even for just a few moments, with other people on the server noticing it also, I will crash.
I will try the reinstall with Visual C++ as that is the only one I haven't tried and get back to let ya know if it worked, fingers crossed.
