Game Crashes to desktop :s

Thats it, it crashed to desktop when im playing online, I dont know if this is random crash or what. I have Steam version purchased today. I didnt try the Single Player campaign yet.

My PC:

Phenom II 920

4GB ram

GTX 260 Core 216

Resolution 1600x900

Settings Normal/High no post process, no AA

Windows 7 32bit

It would probably help if you try playing some SP to see if it crashes under that. How many times has it CTD' whilst you were playing MP? How long had you been playing for? Did anything specific happen when you crashed such as a loud explosion or such?

Playing SP is OK no crash. This happen twice in the same server with 20+ ppl, there was no explosion, I was in the base Domination2 mod. First think I noticed before it crash was FPS drop, the game suddenly runs very heavy, I usually play with 30-40 fps, fps drop was around 10 acording to Fraps (I wasnt recording)

But, later I could play without problems

Im not sure, but because I have Steam version, when some contact join Steam or start a game, a windows popup from Steam appears and I notice an FPS drop for a few seconds and the red light of the Hard Disk working hard and then it crash. Is there a way to play without steam?

Firewall is setup right and required ports are forwarded?

[SPC.Spets 21]

I only uses windows 7 firewall. Im going to try again without Steam

Edit: I cant run the game without steam, the arma2ao.exe open Steam too :s
