As this issue seems to have been resolved with new drivers I'll mark this thread as solved now.
Hey folks,
I've spent A LOT of time on this and now I'm confident to say that I've eliminated the issue on my machine.
Specs: i7-920@3.8Ghz, 6GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Sapphire ATI 5850 1GB, Win 8.1Pro 64b (legit)
Drivers: 13.12
I've applied these 3 'fixes', and the issue is now gone for over a week (cca 20 hours played):
1) Disabling NDU monitoring
Open up "regedit" and find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu
Change the "Start" value to 4
2) Launching the 32b version of the game
Open Origin, rightclick BF4, properties, set it to launch x86 version
3) Adjusting the page file
Go Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System > Advanced System Settings
Advanced tab > in Performance section click Settings > Advanced tab > in Virtual memory section click Change
uncheck Automaticall manage, select Custom size
I currently have it set as 2048-4096MB (1/3 and 2/3 of total RAM) and I have no leaks and no 'low memory' popups/freezes.
This seems to had the biggest impact, play around with the values.
I've started on 256MB (the cache of my SSD) and the worked my way up.
I'm not certain if all 3 are required, but I'm not touching anything as it now works for me now 🙂
As I was testing the RAM as well and had different amounts of RAM in, the page file needed to be changed to different amounts for the game to stay stable.
I can't explain but for 20GB RAM a page file of 256MB has worked.
For my own 3x 2GB sticks the setting of Initial size = 2048MB and Maximum size = 4096MB works.
Have a go, change the value, restart and run the game to see if it works for you.
If you get the error messages, increase the page file size, if it leaks it is too much.
I hope you can find the balance 🙂
Thumbs up to people who came up with the tips.
Fingers crossed.

This maybe early but I think this one WORKS for me.
Before I couldn't even play 3 rounds of TDM properly, but after I applied all this, alt-tabbing before map loads like puurlucky mentioned, I can run 5 whole Rush round without the leak.
I will try again tomorrow because this is getting pretty late where I am.
