Game crashes after small amount of playing

Recommended Posts

System specs:

CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU  T7300 @ 2.00GHz  2.00 GHz

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT\256MB\v7.15.11.126

Sound Card: Sigma Tel High Definition Audio CODEC\v6.10.0.5407

RAM: 1022MB

ArmA Version: v1.08 European DVD & Queen's Gambit Metaboli.de English Download

DirectX Version: DirectX 10

Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit OS

ArmA starts, can play for a bit, but then the game stalls, audio stutters and sometimes I get a BSOD after that. I've tried the -maxmem=256 command and changing the compatibility to work with Windows XP Service Pack 2 but to no avail.

Please don't say something obvious like "Vista sucks, don't use it" as I know it does but I don't have XP installed on here and I have to resort to using it. Same with the graphics card, I know the 8xxx series line is unstable at best. All I want is a solution that doesn't require me changing or modifying hardware, if there is even one.

Sorry to not be able to help but I have a similar rig. My game also crahses with an error message that reads 'Armour has encountered a problem and needs to closee etc....

File error reads Offset: 00408f51.

What error does the BSOD give you? I sometimes get audio stutter or random sounds followed by a BSOD - with an audio driver error.

This usually happens if I've used the PC for other things first, especially applications involving audio. It's so infrequent that I can't pin-point the exact cause so I'll have to wait for better drivers from Creative (long wait due).

Try clean booting your PC before playing ArmA and don't alt-tab while playing, or install XP as a dual-boot system.
