BF4 Freezes and forces a restart

My Battlefield 4 game loads up and launches through Battlelog. It completes the picture and music loading screen, and freezes in either the black screen with the little white blinky line (so that the line does not blink) or in the first 1-2 frames of the deploy menu. The audio stays on until the soundtrack runs out and does not loop when it crashes in the black screen. If it freezes on the first frames of the deploy menu, the audio stops. Any ideas what might be causing this problem?

Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate
Asus P6X58D-E
12GB Ram
intel i7 930 w/Corsair H60
PNY GTX 780ti
Silencer MK 3 750W

I have already done all of this:

Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some.

Also make sure this is all done..

Run the game as Administrator:
Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

Run Origin as Administrator:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

Disable Origin in game:
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
Origin, settings, General

Also look at other programs as Fraps is known to make issues as well in BF4 .
