darkwiiplayer 1 Posted April 6, 2013 Hello Every time I (try to) play ArmA II operation arrowhead, my computer just freezes completely after some time, between 3 and 15 minutes. Ithappens on every map, every mission and in every mode (Single player, multipleyer or editor). I have already found another post, describing a similar problem, but I haven't been able to fix it as described in that thread =/ http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?112869-Computer-Freezes-Entirely-And-Makes-High-Pitch-Sound I also recently installed Red Orchestra, and it gave me the same problem; the computer just froze after about 20 minutes of playing the game. I have already tried running the game and checking the heat every minute, but it stays at 40 °C to 50 °C until it freezes. I have been playing operation arrowhead with no problems for a very long time, and now it started to give me problems for no good reason, except that I bought a new headset with an external USB soundcard.

pooroldspike 127 Posted April 12, 2013 I've been having exactly the same freeze problem, the fan starts high-revving then comes the freeze. As I mentioned in another thread somewhere, my local comp shop diagnosed overheating, they said something about the paste between two components had gone brittle with age and lost its heat-insulation properties, so they re-pasted it (for 39 GBP/60USD ouch) and the freeze problem seems to be cured.

darkwiiplayer 1 Posted June 10, 2013 lol I completely forgot about this post xD Anyway, thank you for the answer. I think I might get my graphics card repaired or just wait until I have money to buy a new one. I also started getting this problem with some other games recently, so I guess it has to be my system and not the game. Now at least I know it's the hardware. Thank you again for the answer :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
