ArmA II & OA crash to desktop/blue screen

[[General Nuisance]]

I'd like to add that my problem occurs more frequently and severely when I play ArmA 2. For instance as soon as I start the campaign, the crash problem will happen within minutes. Usually with OA it'll happen after 30-40 minutes. Which makes me think it has to be a driver issue. The strange thing is I played ArmA 2 on my previous system with the same 295 GTX card without this issue? I should try re-seating the card in a different slot and see if anything changes.

I see you are using 12GB RAM, if it’s 6x2GB then make sure to use the latest BIOS. I don’t know at what speed your RAM is running but if you are using 6x2 GB you probably need to loosen your timings a bit.

Hello,

No it's tri-channel RAM so 3x4GB RAM. I've updated my BIOS to the latest version also (0908).

I Just got this error with the latest beta (Build_77159)
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
I was dumped back to the desktop, but couldn't get back into the game, heard sounds and all, but had to quit the program from taskmanager.
This is the first time i got this, and its not a heat issue. Also i sometimes had stuttering with low framerate, even while looking straight up into the sky. I'll go back to the previous beta.

PS, this is even the first Arma2 error i got, since moving from XP x64 Pro to Win 7 x64 Pro 3 months ago (XP x64 was terrible with Arma2).

Nvidia GTX285BE 258.96 drivers

If your just having that issue than you should'nt have to worry about going to other beta drivers. (It's you Choice though) Just got to turn a few setting down bit.

Beta drivers? , mm dunno what you mean but 258.96 are WHQL drivers , nothing beta about them. Anyway, after half hour playing i got it again today, high FPS drops and stuttering so I installed OA Beta Build_77068 and so far so good. I'm sure it's an issue with Build_77159.

This seems to be a recurring theme, Is there not any one from BH able to id this issue, and provide a firm resolution to this problem?

many of us spent good money for this game, not to be able to play it on our supped up hot rod computers.

most of the responses have all been shots in the dark with no effect or help.

Is there not another cool game, just as good as ArmA, that includes dedicated support?
