Hey guys. I have recently been experiencing some problems with battlefield 4 (as usual). I have been playing and every 20 minutes the game freezes, the sound stops completely and the screen goes black and says "Battlefield 4 has stopped working". I asks me to debug but the PC freezes or to close the program. This is very frustrating and am searching for a fix but cannot find one because all the complaints on bf4 are from around it's release where it was a mess. No one else seems to be experiencing this. It is also worth noting that I installed Microsoft Flight Simulator X around the time that this problem started but I have no idea how that could relate to these random crashes. The game runs perfectly at 60fps with no issues on medium settings then freezes as described previously. My PC specs are down below:

Intel Core i5-3350P
8GB DDR3-1600Mhz RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 MSI 2GB OC (in factory)
PSU 650W XFX
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H
1TB Seagate 7200RPM Hard Drive
DVD Drive

I already updated my graphics drivers to the latest with Nvidia GeForce Experience, tried repairing the game but have not yet tried a reinstall. Please note that I played over 300 hours before the problem begun so I am not sure what has caused this although I suspect that Flight Simulator X may be a contributing factor to this problem. I appreciate your cooperation and hope I can fix this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.

P.S Quick replies would be very helpful :D

Ok Listen Up.
I searched for a VERY long time for a fix to this problem.
Basically its NOT the graphic card at all.
I replaced my graphic card with a completely new one of the same model (R9 280X)
I even replaced my RAM just to check if that would work.
The problem is to do with the OS, look IDK why but it is.
I rolled back drivers with no success, I changed hardware with no success.
The problem lies in the OS.
So if you re install Windows 7 (Put old files on a external HDD), then install all old driver as per usual. I GUARANTEE a 100% Fix.
Please reply to this.
