I have run into a new issue upon playing Battlefield 4, merely 5 minutes ago.

I now soundloop. I do not crash, but very similar things happen. The screen freezes, looping sound. Then everything goes silent, then it continues as normal. This kept happening every 20-40 seconds.

What on earth happened?

Hmm, so it doesn't seem like the RAM caused the issue.

 

Did your try to reinstall DirectX? An when you reinstalled the driver did you perform a clean install?

If neither of those things worked, you could try to downclock the card using MSi Afterburner. It could be that the factory overclock is unstable, and is causing a driver crash.

Clean install? What is that? All I did was go into Geforce experience and downloaded + installed the beta drivers. Geforce experience uninstalled the previous ones and up went the new ones.

No I didn't reinstall Directx as I do not know how. I cannot find my Battlefield 4 folder.

DirectX would be located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefield 4\Battlefield 4\__Installer\directx\redist. It depends on what drive you have it installed on though, so locate the right drive letter.

 

Sometime the NVidia drivers can be a bit strange (especially the betas). Locate the driver file here: C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\337.50\Win8_WinVista_Win7_64\International and press the setup file.

When asked about how you want to install the driver, chose ´Custome´. Then press next. Then check the box that says ´Performe a clean installation´. Then procede like you normally would.

I've performed a clean install. The Battlefield folder is not in x86.

I've performed a clean install. The Battlefield folder is not in x86.

Then try Program Files. It might also be in a folder called Games or Origin.

I've done a clean install as you suggested, and it appears that after roughly 15 mins of game-play, I ran into no problems, unlike the immediate stuttering I normally experience. This may be the beginning of something great.

Thank you everso much for your help.
