We need dxdiag and files from this folder to solve your problem. C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha\
Can you upload it somewhere in winrar package please?
If package is smaller than 5,000k, so you can attach it here. Thank you.

I have uploaded the files you requested, please let me know if there is anything else you need.
Something else I have noticed about this freeze: it is only the Editor interface which causes it. If I have my settings as to avoid the issue and then Preview a mission in the Editor, I can put AA and HDR on max in game and play without a problem. If these settings are still on when I exit the Preview and go back to the Editor interface then the game will freeze.

I can confirm that this is a generic issue which can affect many programs and is caused by the Memory Clock aspect of a GPU being too high for the power supplied to it.
If you are having this issue then I would suggest reverting the Memory clock-speed on your GPU to stock. If you are getting this issue but have not over-clocked your GPU, then underclock your GPU Memory Clock by 150-200 MHz.
As this is not a fault with ArmA 3 I believe that this topic can be closed.
