Perform a clean boot. If a clean boot is the fix then you need to take a look at programs installed on your PC and find the one doing it. I have a list of programs to make issues in BF4 if you need it.
https://help.ea.com/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pcOther things to do...
Open up a Windows Explorer folder and navigate to C:\Program Files(x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4, and find a file called user.cfg and open it with Notepad.
Note if you do not have this file, you will be unable to perform this workaround.
Find and delete the line that reads UI.DrawEnable, then save and close your config and start your game and you should no longer be experiencing this crash.
