Is your card seated properly in its pcie slot, sitting flush in the slot? Does any other games crash or is it just BF4? Try shutting down all background applications that arent necessary like skype, utorrent, messengers, any apps like those. I have also read through some bf4 forums that say if you do a clean install of windows and the game it fixes it as well. Have you tried any of the patches?
Yes, its seated well hmm patches? Can you tell some more? Its funny cause when i reinstalled bf4 it worked well ( test range though but so?, stable 125fps without any problems) and when i closed bf4 / left testrange for 10minutes, after i tried to go back to testrange error appears and on the while i was just smoking a cigarette and taking drink. Dont understand.
Well I wouldn't get stuck on 'well it worked on a completely different computer, so it should work on this one'. It may not have anything to do with different hardware.
Could be something you have running in the background that's different. I was trying to distill why it worked once and then not the next time. The only thing different was that you used BF4 settings editor between it working and not working. Why doesn't really matter as much as find out what is causing the problem. Once your sure that it is or isn't because of the editor, you can troubleshoot it further.

It was the BF4 Settings editor which was achieving error. Now that you know what is causing the problem, if you're interested, you can troubleshoot what the editor is doing to your settings file that is causing the problem I would find the location of the settings file (probably something like xxxxx.ini) make a back up of it first and then try using the editor to change one setting at a time and test for crashing. It maybe a certain change that causes it, or if could just be corrupting the file on the first change. You could also see if there is a new version of BF4 Settings editor.
Sometimes patches come out that make the old version incompatible with the game and the author has to update his program so that it works again. It was the BF4 Settings editor which was achieving error.

Maybe ill just leave it alone, ill be fine without it Anyway, many thanks to you!:bounce. I found a fix that works for myself, hopefully it helps.I have had this problem for several months, I've reinstalled windows, drivers and BF4 only and the problem arises again with a SUPER clean system install.

I have found that the issue is related to the GPU driver since a few releases ago. Im using 344.75 now and the problem is persistent only in BF4. But I did find a fix (it sucks but its a short-term fix). My Specs: Win8.1 64bit, i7 4930k, 24GB 1600MHz RAM, Asus Sabertooth X79 mobo, EVGA GTX 670's in SLi, Single 144hz BenQ XL272z monitor.
(nothing overclocked). I pulled my hair out like a lot of PPL but I made a small discovery that does work well, except you need to do it after every reboot. Repairing BF4 made no difference since the issue was with the driver, also reinstalling directX made no difference, you'll chaise your tail with this but its not the issue (cant hurt to do it though). Also clean installations of the nVidia drivers seem to rarely work long term. I used BF4 settings editor but the game ran fine until the driver change.
This didnt explain why the game still crashed on launch with a completely fresh install, with NO BF4 settings editor. Start nVidia control panel (right click on desktop and click nvidia logo). Goto 'Configure Sli, Surround, PhysX' settings. Change PhysX to anything other than what your using. I alternate from CPU to Auto after every reboot.
Then 'Apply' The game should load now. Unfortunately the issue will come back after rebooting. Just make a change again in physx and it should work and continually until the net reboot. I've seen a lot of tweaks that are unsuccessful and never get to the root of the issue.
As far as I can tell the GPU driver fails when the game loads and it may be related from having a multi monitor setup and/or SLi using DVI (IMO), doing a windows debug always points to BF4. I've removed my other 2 monitors and run single monitor but the problem still arises.
By changing the PhysX settings your arbitrarily re initializing the GPU configuration (I know there's no PhysX in BF4, but the side effect of the change temporarily fixes the game). Try this and see if it helps.
Symptoms: - Won't launch after update - Hangs on 'Joining' (web plugin) - Hangs on 'Initiating' (web plugin) - BF4.exe not launching during game start (or starts and crashes) Tried the following: - Repaired game - Logged in and out of origin - Restarted machine - Cleared browser cache - Tried another browser - Uninstall re-install of browser plugin - Used the, 'Move, Delete, DL start, Move Back Repair' game install trick. Deleted%AppData% Origin - Deleted Patch folder (re-downloaded) - Running origin as admin - Running BF4 as admin and a few more.
None of these worked.

This SolutionWorkaround worked for me. But I still think compatibility mode is normally not necessary to run BF4 (after the Patch) on Windows 8/8.1 and it is a bug. SOLUTION: NOTE: This solution probably only applies to Windows 8.1 and 8 users!

But I still think compatibility mode is normally not necessary to run BF4 (after the Patch) on Windows 8/8.1 and it is a bug. Disabling 'Origin-Ingame' worked for me. Figured I'd give that a try before doing that.
Considering the game performs mildly better in 8.0/8.1 I'd rather do that then set compatibility to 7.
