It happens after a while of playing, I have to restart my computer.

Basically the game freezes and has red smudges on the screen very misty mild red.

My specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

2GB Crucial DDR2-800

BFG 8800GT OC2 (169.13)

Windows XP Home

ArmA 1.08

Ahh yes that is possible, I contacted BFG a while ago about general freeze ups in games, they told me to do a BIOS flash update, that solved it for most games, obviously not this

Just a thought, maybe try and re-seat the card in the pcie slot. My 8800gt went a light blue misty washout color during the game when I got hit in a humvee with an rpg. When I backed out to desktop, it was the same misty blue and even with a reset that didn't change. When I re-sat the card, I've had no problems since. It might help I blew out the case too.

Hey I get that red crap on one of my pcs. Red spots, screen freezes and then I restart.

I have an Nvidia 6800 gts on it. I don't know why that happens. The other pcs also have the same card on and they don't crash.

This is the same or simular problem discussed in this topic "Strange Freezing"
