Hi all, 

Ive been trying to play Battlefield 4 recently. However its been crashing as soon as the game loads into a server. The thing is, it was working fine 3-4 days ago, then 2 days ago this happens.

Before I can even move my mouse, the computer itself turns off.

The things I've tried are:

- Re-install DirectX

- Update Graphics drivers

(Haven't 'repaired game' through Origins as my internet speed is so slow, it takes 17hrs to install)

 

Then today, I got an error that said:

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED ("The video card has been physically         |           ....I have checked the card in the pc, it is in fully and screwed in

Also, make sure you have a supported graphics card with at least                      |

Would anyone be able to help me with this?

 

Thanks,

Luke

I tried running Single Player to see if it was just MP that wasn't working. 

I've found out that it only crashes when the GAME is running, but cut scenes, EG the server loading page, or before a SP mission, work fine.

 

It isn't just the GPU crashing, the entire system turns off. I can tell cause my mouse LED, keyboard LED and audio interface LEDs all turn off. However the PSU stays on.....
