What is your operating system exactly?
Can you turn off DEP and try again? (DEP: Data Execution Prevention)
Data Execution Prevention is a feature in Windows that determines whether or not programs are safe to run.Though this feature might be helpful in some cases, sometimes Windows determines a program is not safe to run even if the program is completely harmless.
In that case, you can follow the instructions below to fix the issue:
Windows 7 / Vista
- Right-click on your Desktop and click on Properties.
- You will see your System window now. Click on Advanced System Settings.
- You will see the System Properties window. Click on the Advanced tab.
- Under Performance, click on Settings (the top button).
- You will see a pop-up appear called Performance Options.
- Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab.
- Click on Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.
- Click on the Add button.
- Browse to where you installed the game and select the .exe file.
- Restart your computer and try playing your game again.
Windows XP
- Click on Start.
- Click on Control Panel.
- Double-click on System.
If you do not see the System icon, click on Switch to Category View. - Click on the Advanced Tab.
- Under Performance, click on Settings.
- Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab.
- Click on Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.

No that fix is no good, it says 'You Cannot Set DEP Attributes on 64-Bit executables.
I have done nothing on my computer to casue this problem and it happened on my friends computer too.
My Computer is:

I had the same problem here (except for the specific error message).
NFS Rivals crashed a few seconds after initializing with the black window opened. It did not reach the full screen mode.
It was fine last time I checked (a few weeks ago).
The DEP can't be turned off for the 64bit or 32bit executable.
I'm using :
Windows 8.1 64bit (up to date)
NVIDIA latest drivers (344.75)
Dual screen.
Nothing overclocked.
I checked the game files with "Repair Game" to no avail.
I killed most of the background programs and unplugged every controller but the gamepad.
I tried to start the game right after a fresh reboot.
I tried both executables (administrator rights).
Last thing I tried fixed the problem and the game is now running flawlessly. Here's what I did:
Disable the Origin in-game overlay (IGO). To do this, launch the Origin client. Then go to the Origin menu, Application Settings, Origin In Game, and then uncheck "Enable Origin In Game."
I hope this fix works for you guys!
Good luck!

Thank you @Bourrinopathe
This should help improving game performances but not sure about this BEX error but I think it's worth a try.
