So, BF4 RSOD'es my PC every session. Not a normal CTD or anything, screen goes fully red and the sound glitches out for about 30 seconds, sounds similar to a BSOD, before my PC restarts. Lots of people say its overheating, this is physically impossible, temperatures reach a max of 50 for the CPU and a rock solid 50 constant for the GPU, and the air coming out of the case is luke warm at worst, the PSU is also luke warm at worst and all the fans are spinning. My RAM passes all the tests people have thrown at it and my CPU has passed all of its tests. My drivers are up to date, I've tried all the versions suggested. My HDD is only around 3% fragmented and in good health. EVERYTHING is up to date and healthy. This crash only happens in BF4, none of my other games have this issue.

I can confirm this is a problem with the game and not a problem on my end. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? There don't seem to be any telltale symptoms of a impending crash other then a little bit of stutter a few minutes prior. I've tried DX11 and Mantle, both have the same issue.

Please if anyone has a solution to this, tell me! It really kills the fun for me.

Specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 750k Black Edition clocked at 4.09 GHz, very stable with the occasional hiccup
Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: ASUS AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHZ (the one with the nice aftermarket cooler)
PSU: CX500w
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance LP

Here is a picture of the RSOD in action.

You may have to reinstall the game.

If you use EA ORIGIN for the manager, you should be able to right-click the launch icon and "VERIFY" the game. If it's corrupt that may fix things.

I've already tried that, but I will do it again to be sure.

Also I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro as my OS if that matters.

have you tried different drivers? other than the newest one? Sounds like the GPU is crashing or the driver is crashing. to be sure the GPU is operating fine run OCCT on the GPU test and make sure you mark the error check. IF it errors it is a gpu issue if not then it is a driver error.

Yes I've tried three beta's and the newest and second to newest stable's. There is NO way that its my drivers.

Like I said in my OP, I've run every test on everything imaginable. Nothing had any errors period. I've even tested the vram exclusively.

Ok I've verified the game, it found some issues this time. I'll test it out in a little bit.

You should also run MEMTEST to make sure there's no issues with your System memory (DDR3): www.memtest.org

1) create a USB or DVD as applicable
2) Have USB or DVD first in BIOS' boot order (Windows drive 2nd)
3) run a FULL PASS (about 30min for 8GB but it will tell you)

If the test finds errors it could be:
a) Bad RAM requiring an RMA, or
b) bad frequency/timings (possibly because of an overclock)
c) Issue that a BIOS update may fix

Like I said in my OP, I have already run ALL the possible tests on EVERYTHING. Including memtest. This problem only occurs in BF4, every singe one of my 50+ games can run without crashing. It cant be hardware, period.
