ArmA II Random Lockup

[ArmA II Random Lockup]

:mad:

I'd suggest reading through the crash thread but honestly, most of what I'm hearing here sounds like a hardware issue.

BSOD is most commonly caused by a hardware issue (sometimes drivers). If the game crashes to BSOD then you can't start your com then it's definitely not arma related.

I'd suggest for everyone here to run 3dmark, or another intensive benchmarking program and monitor the temps on your graphics card and CPU.

If you are still getting BSOD or crashes in 3dmark, and your temps are staying relatively low (below 70 deg C) then I'd suggest taking your machines apart, removing all cards and placing them back.

Whilst doing that, make sure all the standoffs (small copper/rubber things your screws go into) have been installed under your motherboard. This is a common issue when people don't concentrate while putting a computer together. The standoffs prevent the MB from touching the case and shorting out, plus if they aren't in enough places your MB could bend and your cards (graphics, Network, Sound, etc) won't make full contact making your computer run oddly.

Although this is just one issue, there are many other causes, but running intensive stress tests like 3dmark and CpuZ should help locate if it's a hardware issue.

Bullshit! I just Bought a New PC From Cyberpower.com worth $2, 500 and it was put together by them, profesional insallation and Wiring. This whole Thing Is ARMA 2 related, I have many of the latest Games Installed and NO problems with any of them, Ran Futuremark 3D NO problems, Yes I have the Latest Drivers and patches....Monkey 101, I Love this Fuckin Game, but she's a Mean Bitch when it come to the most up to date Sofware and hardware!!
