Graphics glitching and CTD

[Sacro 10]

Hi, got Arma2 yesterday, now running 1.02 patch and 186.18 nVidia drivers, I can play for 10-15 minutes but then it will freeze up, and slowly start cycling through textures on the monitor, sometimes I can ctrl+alt+del and get to the task manager, and it'll tell me that nv4_disp.dll has stopped working.

Any thoughts?

PC Spec:

Asus M3N-HT Deluxe + Mempipe

AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3Ghz (stock)

4GB OCZ Reaper 1066C5 (settings on sticker)

Windows XP SP3

your graphics drivers are acting up, or your card is overheating (sounds more like the latter). check the temps on your card and make sure they're not too hot

+1, stock fan speed is sometimes very low ; my HD4870x2 was crashing a lot before i set the fan speed up, now it's ok but it makes more noise...

any ideas how to change the fan speed on nvidia cards? I think I'm having a overheating problem but I really don't know how to go about troubleshooting it... does nvidia report overheating issues somewhere? some log I could find?

Thanks for the help

IF you have installed the newest 1.02 patch then you more likely have an issue with the game. 186.18 I also use and I done extensive testing to verify it is the 1.02 patch NOT the graphic card or hardware (I am a pro pc senior tech).

Wait for an new patch or you can try reinstall the game and use the first 1.02 patch.
