svarun 16 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) My game was working fine the past two years but now suddenly this happend to my Arma2. I tried reinstalling the game and graphic drivers but it didn't work. My system specs: Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.5GHz Memory: 3072MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 11Graphic card: ATI HD3600 Edited May 10, 2012 by Svarun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted May 10, 2012 Hmm...looks like either your GPU is dying or the VRam. If possible try to borrow a graphic card from a friend (preferably a ATI since you already have the drivers) and see if the problem can be solved this way. :EDITH: Or it is overheating. Open your case and see if the GPU cooler is covered with dust. If so, remove it with a brush and a vac cleaner or pressured air (if available). Make sure you cut off power before opening the case!

jacknorrisuk 146 Posted May 10, 2012 Wow, looks a bit like that Red Faction cover art... I had something similar last year, but it turns out it was my graphics card. It could be something completely different in your case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svarun 16 Posted May 10, 2012 GPU temp is on same levels as before when it was still working and computer is regulraly being cleaned. Other games work without problems so I don't think that GPU is dying. Graphic drivers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrIxXuS 10 Posted May 10, 2012 I have had very similar issues using latest drivers :s so i now have reverted back a few no current issues after hours of testing. Currently using 12.1 drivers was using the latest 12.4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted May 10, 2012 I've seen problems like that before, most usually associated with hardware failure, as in graphics card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baraka 10 Posted May 10, 2012 Maybe a Benchmark like "3D-Mark" can clear up if it´s an Arma or a Hardware fail. When the GPU goes crazy, google for "GPU" and "baking oven" :eek:. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted May 10, 2012 GPU temp is on same levels as before Which is? Other games work without problems so I don't think that GPU is dying. Other games tend to have other shaders/engine which might load the GPU/Vram differently. It is either hardware failure or driver problem, most likely. It is almost certain not caused by ArmA 2, ArmA 2 just reveals the existing problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrIxXuS 10 Posted May 10, 2012 Hey Svarun, try this link to uninstall drivers first then re-install new ones after you have done this... link to a guide the way i do it. Just take your time and read it through it's very straight forward. http://www.overclock.net/t/988215/how-to-properly-uninstall-ati-amd-software-drivers-for-graphics-cards hope this works for you :-).
