You have an AMD graphics card, right?
Install Catalyst 13.11 Beta 8 should fix that for ya

This drivers were causing stutter for me, and with the BetaV1 drivers it works fine, but when changing from Paracel Storm to another map *bam* RSOD and reboot.

Thanks for suggesting the graphics updates guys, I appreciate you being helpful.
I have been able to fix this issue on a few PC's by doing what Cirap suggested: Install Catalyst 13.11 Beta 8

Have still the Redscreen problem. I already updated the Catalyst Beta driver (AMD 7850) and for a while it worked but now after the "new performance" patch from DICE i'm not able to play one full round. 3x per Round the Game crashes, the PC freezez or the redscreen is back and i have to restart. Don't know what to do, but to play one full round BF4 with my friends is impossible now. ... the problem ist just with BF4 all other games and programs works perfect. And all driver are updated. But the redscreen is the biggest problem, I don't want to ruin my pc with BF4 because of the redscreens and restarts all the time.
(btw . i use 2 displays so at one it is a redscreen and the other one a bluescreen)
I also tried to start bf4 in 32bit and 64bit and also in Windows7 Compatibility Mode but nothing works fine.
Are there any tricks i can try also to fix it? Or i have to wait till DICE have the time to work (maybe) at another performance patch?

Don't flame me pls but have you checked that windows is set to not install device drivers?
I'm using a 7850 2 gb and using 13.250.80.0 drivers no red screens or crashes.

Thx, yes windows is set to "not install device drivers". Have also the 7850 2gb buit i'm using the Catalyst Version 2013.1107.1129.20543 becouse it is the newest (i think), with the older versions i had more problems then now ... but stay at your version when it works for you ...
Make it sence to update windows8 to windows8.1. to fix something or is this just stupid ? :)

Hm updating to 8.1 is hit and miss for me, as long as you have windows set to not alter your settings, check skydrive too, 8.1 will give performance increases, its a lot quicker than win8 even, and the newer DX11.1 is it?

Make sure you have deleted old drivers guys, i had the 13.11 and forgot about old ones but as soon as i deleted them it fixed mine.

Yes i deleted all old drivers and i installed the new catalyst ... still redscreen ... since BF4 is out i was not able to play one full round at a large map without a redscreen. I tested ALL now so there is nothing i can do ... just waiting for a patch. omg i can't belive that they didn't test there own game befor they release it. Beta worked perfect for me .... Hope they fixe it soon ...
Update: now i have redscreen at every round also at smaller maps :(
