I have no idea where else to go for help with this (as steam and ARMA support won't); so I hope you guys can!

Recently I bought ARMA 3 and it works fine for about 5 - 100 minutes then the screen freezes, is covered with green squares, my graphics driver crashes and I have to use task manager to end ARMA 3's process before the computer blue screens. After the game is closed the computer is back to normal and I can play any other demanding game fine.

I'm using a 580 GTX 3gb nvidea graphics card with fully updated beta drivers (27/06/2014). I've tried removing all drivers, reformating the entire computer twice, reinstalling drivers, rolling back the drivers to an earlier version, reinstalling and verifing the game it self.

Also my GPU runs at a cool 46 degrees C max when the game freezes and my CPU is at 36 degrees.

I had the same problem a while back with Assassins Creed Black flag and the Battlefield series but a quick overclock of the Core Voltage seemed to fix that problem... Just not ARMA 3 (I've tried default clock and slightly less over clock to no avail...).

Thanks for the help! I'm pulling my hair out here!

I lowed all the graphics settings to lowest and tested each setting, one by one, and apprently it has something to do with the shadow settings; once disabled the freezing stopped.

Are there any fixes for this?
