Blue Screen Issue

[Blue Screen Issue]

I just tried it on XP and it locked up with some major screen flickering. Wah! i just want to play :(

I've read through most of those other posts. They're are all mainly from 07' and had a different issue that was at start up.

I just tried the Nvidia beta drivers, still no go. I'll wipe the drivers this time and give ARMA 2 another shot.

EDIT::

No luck :(

Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed

only on ARMA 2 and far less often in Americas army 3. I've push my card many times in other games. I find the problem only specific to these games, the problem must lie in the game right?

What make? Who made it is far more important than the amount of watts it claims to put out.

Coolermaster

also adding vid card temps whilst playing arma is around low 70's.

updated, that was foolish of me to leave out. but anyways my PSU is 850w so not an issue.

I notice that my crash/ bsod occours when i do an action, that or its just plain coincidence.

For instances my last crash was when i was trying out commander in the tutorial. it happened just as i click next button after i spawned.

It's funny you mention Arma 2 and AA 3 that cause you to blue screen.

I also experience bsod during both these games with the same description you provided.

TBH it's rather strange and random that it only happens on both of these games only (for me atleast).

does your blue screen say the same thing?
