As this issue seems to have been resolved with new drivers I'll mark this thread as solved now.
BF4 has been freezing my whole PC since the last patch, previous to last patch I was running everything on Ultra. Now I can't even play on low settings without it freezing the PC. The only way out is a force shut down and restart.

Is there a solution to this issue I notice it has been going on for some people since 2013, this is new for me and I have allways played BF.
Prior to July 8th patch I had no memory leak and game ran very,very smooth on DX11 on high settings.
After july 8, BF4 became unplayable on DX11.
Even with Mantle API,I lost half of my FPS,stutters like a MOFO and game crash.
Added another R9 290 and FPS went back to 100/120 on ULTRA settings.
Still suffer from memory leak causing stutters,lagg/snags and crashes.
September's patch did not fix the memory leak.
Getting the same in BF4 CTE.....Looks like the last stand will still suffer from this mem leak issue.😕mileysad:
Unparked cores,OC'ed my CPU to 4.6Ghz + RAM to 1866mhz,created a CFG file in BF4 and V-Sync off like it should.
Win 8.1
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z Bios 2101
AMD 8350 FX OC 4.6Ghz
8 Gigs Gskill OC 1866Mhz
2 R9 290 in Xfire Drivers 14.9
24 inch Phillips 1MS RT, 144hertz Refresh rate
Custom water cooling loop.
There is a workaround for the memory leak: Check this out!
