vinc3nt 10 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) After playing 10 - 40mins of ArmA 2 I keep getting a weird CTD and an error about my driver. Here is what I see on screen when it happens: 1) The game freezes and artifacts come up 2) A 'fatal video device driver crash... Infinite Loop caused thread stuck in Device Driver error' error comes up on the desktop (which is in horrible resolution) OR an error about the driver not working properly. 3) No programs can be used so I have to manually switch off the computer Here is my NVIDIA info: And my PC info: My driver has not been damaged. I understand that there is a limited number of solutions out there, but if there is a solution for this problem please post.

no use for a name 0 Posted June 30, 2009 probably an overheating issue. get gpu-z or ATITool and watch the temps on your card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted June 30, 2009 Most likely overheating, even if you aren't reading high temps (game seems to overheat on quad cores a lot) Try taking off the side of the com and aim a fan in there to see if it gets any better, if it does then you've located the problem, then use gpu-z and cpu-z (or other monitoring software) to see what is overheating (best to check with dual monitors if possible, otherwise alt tab occasionally).

vinc3nt 10 Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) i have Speedfan and it says my average temperature without running ArmA 2is 46C - 48C (i don't know if this is a good temperature ) below: ...and while running ArmA 2: i will see if gpu-z and ATITool help me further. From looking at the 'fire' symbol i'm thinking that it is overheating... thz for the info. Edited July 2, 2009 by vinc3nt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
