Hey guys, I just upgraded my build last night and no matter what I do I can't get Battlefield 4 to run at all! It gets to the loading screen and just loads forever. It worked GREAT with my previous build even though it wasn't the best.

New specs:

Windows 7 pro 64-bit
Intel i7 4770k with h100 cooling
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming board
EVGA GTX 660ti sig 2
16gb Corsair Vengeance 1866 ram
Corsair RM750 PSU
Booting off Intel 520 series SSD
BF4 stored on 840 EVO

Both campaign and multiplayer get stuck loading. I've tried re-installing it and still no luck. Any idea why it's not working? It worked fine with my awful AMD-4100!

I know this is one of the culprits for games not running, but did you install the newest Nvidia drivers?

Yup, using the drivers released on November 19th!

This is really frustrating. In my previous build I was playing BF4 off of an Intel 520 SSD and it worked great. But you know, heard GREAT things about the EVO!

Dang, perhaps this would help? My friend tried this, and it worked for him and his i7-3770k and GTX 670.

Did you actually redownload and reinstall the game to your SSD or did you try copying the files from one to the new SSD?

Thanks, trying these now!

Yup, fresh install of the game. But I have since determined that it can't possibly be a drive issue, because other origin and steam games work from the same SSD.
