same problem laptop lenovo geforce gtx860 with new driver
Found and solved the problem.
Go to display setting, and change to "Windowed Fullscreen", appearantly, EA switched the names fullscreen and windowed fullscreen around.
If i put on fullscreen, i get borders, if i put on windowed fullscreen, i get a genuinine fullscreen mode.

oh hell yeah.
What a mess. That solved my problem.
This is NOT a solution - they did not mix up the names - the full screen window is a borderless window - its not real full screen. The mouse is not locked out, you cannot lower the resolution below the desktop setting, etc.
I have this same problem on one of two IDENTICAL Lenovo laptops (one for work, one for home). One works fine (the work one sadly), the other refused to run full screen correctly. I have compared settings and details on both - I cannot find a difference that would cause one to function normally and the other to not. Ugh.

I strongly doubt this, I get a fair performance boost when running in fullscreen mode and a drop when running in "windowed fullscreen".
EA/Bioware, thank you for formally looking into addressing this issue. Here is my dxdiag:

When selecting fullscreen, the game is plainly in windowed mode.

This is the solution that worked for me!
add me to the list, the funny thing is tho it wasnt always happening, it started today.
I am not on a laptop, I run the game on a gtx 970 using the nvidia 344.75 drivers.
When the game starts it tries to go full screen and then falls back to windowed mode, if I click the window whilst the game is loading it will then try again to go full screen again and fail.
However I have been managing to get it full screen, I do it by thrash clicking fast on the window so it keeps trying, and it will usually go full screen right before the title screen comes up, at that point its fine.
My full screen res is my monitor native res which is 1680x1050p.
