BF4 constantly crashing?

C64 · 12 Dec 2013 at 19:42

Intel burn test should be ran maximum and at least 50 passes I've had fails in the 20's 30's of a test.

I was getting crashes even at stock, 4770k and sli gtx 670's. Few bsods the other night due to low cpu vcore. But the vast majority of crashes ive had were server or the game itself just doing it's normal thing.

Weird I just tried High settings and it judders really bad......like not the graphics juddering, like a feedback loop error or something, between judders its high frame rates, ultra runs smooth as butter.......HELPFUL,lol

Take the CPU back to stock like I said.

I had my 8320 at 4.2 crashed daily, since I have stepped it to 3.7 back I'm having no issues!

Odd

iv stopped getting crashes but then memory leak zaps my full 8gb and it becomes a slideshow until restart

The patches have fixed most of the crashes now, if your still crashing it'll be CPU of GPU overclocks. For me it was both, my overclocks have been stable for 2 years in every game, but not BF4, there's something in this game that really stresses your system. I had to increase CPU volts by 0.25 and decrease my GPU O/C by 25mhz. Now everything is great only 1/10 games crash for me now, which is probably still a odd bug in there somewhere.

Try closing down your browser when the map starts to load. Seems to have worked for me and I have been plagued by this problem.

Found my big stability problem, my 32GB patriot 1866EL running at........1866 is unstable :mad:

WTF! now at 1600 and its rock solid, harder than a quadratic equation.........gutted I paid for this ram to run at 1866 oddly enough.

I just did 6 hours INTEL burn test at extreme level and its stable at 4.3, running at 4.5 now and still no crashes.

I think thats more you only have 8gb ram, MAH movie PC has more than that! get yourself another 8gb sir !

Does the ram have an xmp profile? And 32gb at 1866mhz is a pretty hefty load on the cpu memory controller. Have you tried upping sa or io voltages, description of theese depends on the board. Tbh, for games 1600mhz is grand on ib or hw. Games dont show any noticeable benefit with high clocked ram. 8gb of 2400mhz ram here, pointless upgrade for a gaming system tbh.

Yup not stable on the XMP profile (v1.3), thing is iv ran this for nearly a good year at 1866 :eek:

and its been grand 80% of the time, but i just got used to adobe premier hanging and now bf4..............

Its at 1600mhz now and seems a million times more stable, feel an idiot for not lowering it, clocked up the cpu to 4.5ghz and its ran intel extreme for a couple hours now.......i think i may have a great chip on my hands and never known it :eek:

I kept having this problem a few weeks back, so annoying I've actually stopped playing. I'll give it another week or so, hope there's an update and then hope I can actually play.

Did you ever get any hard locks/freezes /BSOD?

Jono8 · 14 Dec 2013 at 09:10

Also, I've noticed it seems the game is loads more stable using Firefox as the battlelog browser instead of IE

The only hard locks I get is when I boot from cold - it locks on the windows load screen 4-6 times for about 10 mins (I leave it locked until it auto switches off) I assume its a weird bug as when its loaded, its now v stable, I still need to try bf4.

Interesting, am using google chrome for my browser

Fixed !!! It was my memory unfort, rock stable 4 hours now
