tophe 69 Posted June 23, 2009 Sometimes when I run ArmA2 the computer will freeze. It just stops and doesn't answer to any commands, even the clock stops. The only thing I can do is to do a hard reset of the computer. Anyone else had this problem? It has happened like 4 or 5 times since yesterday. I have Win XP32 AMD X2 6000+ 2 gb ram GeForce 8800 GTS 320mb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dram 14 Posted June 23, 2009 If the computer is freezing like you say, then one of the possible causes is that the video card is overheating. How long after you start ArmA 2 does it freeze? When it does freeze, touch the side to see hot hot it is. If it is quite hot, then either open up the side of the PC to let more air flow through, or alternatively buy more cooling fans (providing there is space for them within the comp). Remember that most new games are quite performance-intensive, so the parts within your PC will heat up quite a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tophe 69 Posted June 23, 2009 I've never had these problems with any other new games. Also I monitored the temps of the parts in the computer and no component is too warm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave317 0 Posted June 23, 2009 I had this problem every time i tried to play arma2 with an 8600gt. My solution was to get a new 260 gtx card and it's been fine ever since. I've never had it before with other games either. An expensive solution i know but even with extra fans it didn't make much difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dram 14 Posted June 23, 2009 Hmm, then please post what settings you run the game at, that would certainly help in solving the issue. Also, how large a paging file did you allow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
