My BF4 player randomly "resets" itself back like 10ft every 30 seconds or so... not sure of problem?

I'll start with my system specs and this may be the problem in itself.
AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Deneb 3.5GHz Socket AM3 125W
Mushkin Enhanced Chronos MKNSSDCR60GB 2.5" 60GB SATA III Asynchronous MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX
ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card
Windows 8.1 x64 edition w/ 4 gb of mushkin ram. All 4 cores are unparked. latest nvidia drivers installed. disabled onboard audio (which actually fixed a bunch of shit) system page file - set by windows
BF4 settings.
Texture quality - High Texture filtering - medium lighting quality - low effects quality - low post process quality - medium mesh quality - medium terrain quality - low terrain decoration - low AA Deferred - off AA post - off Ambient Occlusion - off
Resolution scale - 100% FOV - 70 vertical sync - off
I have my fps capped at 58 with no screen tearing.
My latency is around 15ms to most servers I play on. I've played around with Network smoothing factor and no matter what setting it's at it still does this random glitching.
The only thing I can assume is that for x64 operating systems bf4 recommends 8gb of ram. Or my cpu is going to shit.
Has anyone experienced this? It's like it kicks me back a few seconds in time. e.g. I was reloading once and watched my guy finish then it did the "reset" thing and i wathced my guy reload the magazine again.

I wonder if this might be pagefile related....

Open Task Manager before BF4.
Start BF4 & jump into a map... 32 Player or >
Alt+Tab out and check your RAM saturation.

Are you at 100% or very close to it? My guess is that you are and while it would seem an SSD should be a non-factor in traditional page file accessing latency issues(very commonly occurring with spindle HDDs), who knows what Dice is doing when your RAM is saturated.

I doubt it is your CPU. It sounds like a buffer isn't being cleared and for some reason is being re-read.

This actually contributed to part of my problem. However, I upgraded to 12 gigs of ram, and I still have this odd thing happen. I'm convinced it's either cpu related or my terrible onboard realtek lan. I'll be upgrading soon, and using an intel lan chipset.
