Re: Battlefield 4 causes my computer to freeze/crash.
After uninstalling PunkBuster and finding a non-PunkBuster server (which was rather hard to find) it still managed to crash, sadly.

I have a similar setup to you and know there's an update for your network card built into your motherboard, there should be a newer driver here:
I doubt it will fix anything but it's worth a try.
Since none of the above has worked the next thing I can think of would be to either
a) Format computer, start fresh
b) Check for obscure hardware issues
For the b part I once had a weird issue with a USB hub that somehow caused a game to run weird. I would start with disconnecting all unneeded hardware connected to your computer. Disable the extra monitor, printers, USB hubs, speakers etc. so there's only keyboard mouse and a monitor connected. Then disable all soundcards, video capture cards, etc in windows.
If this doesn't work I once fixed a guys computer crashing issues once by removing the cables, memory, CPU+cooler, GFX etc., then I used compressed air to remove the dust and then I put the computer back together and the crashing was gone.
Hi again @L8-Waffles - was just wondering, did you find a solution for this problem?
Yes, luckily I have been able to fix the issue.
After checking all the hardware and software I noticed that my voltages were 'too low' (in a range of 92-95%). This caused me to buy a new PSU, as my older one seemed to be a cheap and bad one, which seemed to fix the Battlefield 4 related issues (and some other random crashes here and then). The ranges of my voltages are now around 100-105%. If it wouldn't have worked I would've also replaced my Motherboard and CPU, luckily I wasn't forced to so I saved a lot of money.
So thanks for the help for going through all the possible problems, yet the problem was at 'the source' all the time.
Nice to know. Didn't know you had general stability issues otherwise I might actually have suggested the PSU. Anyways, good to hear it worked out 🙂
Hello, i have no clue if you still use this forum, but how do i check my powersupply voltage %? i've been dealing with the same issues as you and tried so many things to fix the problem with no success. ive been suspecting that i have a too weak of a PSU for my GPU and setup in general.
Thx for a reply if you are still around 🙂

I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.
If you have any issues with Battlefield 4 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
@Magnus2340 I recommend that you make a new topic add in waht kind of PC you have. For the powersupply details should say on the box you got it in.
