Get more RAM. I've seen some issues where BF is using quite a bit of RAM. One guy had 16gb and BF1 was using 9GB of it. Apparently it likes to load as much as it can in RAM when it's running to avoid hitting the disk (which is a lot slower).

Looking around a bit more also indicated that BF4 might have some memory leak problems - are you running the latest patches? If you are, it could just indicate a crappy game. Some people were hitting 96-98% usage on 16GB systems. As for BF1 - it apparently might have the same problem. Others are finding 90%+ RAM usage and CPU spikes when that hits.
