Arma has encountered a problem and needs to close

[Cookmeup272]

About 5 minutes into a game my Arma crashes with the error. I have it patched and am running no mods.

I have the same problem. With me the cause is overheating of my processor (and potentially 3D chip) - yes, laptop.

Try installing sensor software like Everest and see what temperatures your CPU and such get. (I once had 91°C CPU after ArmA crashed...) If it gets hot, try cooling your hardware better.

wondering what "THE ERROR" is

dont think i've seen that in the .rpt file before

overheating isnt the issue.

I found that it is related with my SB Audigy SE sound driver. When I disable this driver in hardware menu, the game works just perfect! (But with no sound, of course... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/mad_o.gif ) If the driver is enabled - the game crashes - sometimes after some seconds, sometimes after 5 minutes. Does anyone has some suggestions? Driver reinstall does not help and there are no newer drivers.

Look in device manager under Sound devices - if you have a IDT high definition audio codec - disable it - seems that it works for me - the game no longer crashes! http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/yay.gif

If the above don't work, disable hardware acceleration in audio options (in arma).
