Intel Graphics Accelerator Driver Crash As ArmA3 Starts

[Vendetta 1]

Everytime I hit play on Steam, the ArmA3 logo comes up, loading bar fills, and then it disappears and I get this error:

Task manager lists it as a Background process after crash, and I have to manually stop it before I am able to unsuccessfully start it again.

I am running Windows 8, and:

i5 3570 @ 3.40GHz CPU

AMD HD7850 2GB GPU

8Gb RAM

ASrock Fata1ity Z77 Performance Motherboard

Also dual screens if it matters. (1 HDMI, 1 VGA)

Anyone else having this problem/a fix?

You have a laptop/PC with dual graphics cards? Maybe it's somehow trying to use the onboard Intel card with Arma3? Which would never end well! If applicable can you completely disable it in the bios?

No, i'm using a single graphics card.

The Intel I5 3570 Ivy Bridge CPU has a built-in HD4000 GPU. So technically you do have dual graphics. The error message also clearly points to the INTEL HD4000 drivers. Try updating them or disable the built-in GPU (probably in BIOS) for testing purpose.
