Can you try disable PPAA please?
If the crash is happening when playing custom MAP/MOD,try to reproduce the crash also in our official Arma III missions Escape from Stratis and Headhunters.

It was easy to reproduce those crashes in the conditions you mentionned : it happened after just a few minutes.
PPAA disabled, no mod, and occured on both Escape from Stratis and Headhunters.
RPT, bidmp, mdmp dxdiag and win7 crash reports in zip file : Arma 3 Alpha crashes 4991 v2

I still get a lot of those crash, can't play more than 5 minutes.
I tried almost everything : disabling DEP in win 7 and in BIOS, underclocking my GPU, put an old trackir software (tracktool), putting older version of AMD catalysts...
I still get this crash most of the time :

crashdumps are from old version 0.51.103185.

Can you clean crashdumps folder and upload crashdumps from last version please?
actual version is:
Type: Public Alpha
Branch: Stable
Version: 0.52.103507

Thank you.

Last bunch of crash reports with latest dev build uploaded.
One crash occured in main menu after just 1 minute after launching the game.

Two more reports and minidumps when trying to switch between memory allocators dll contained in devbuild and win7 64 native ones.

Another one in SP (infantry showcase). Seems to be the same as the first one I reported.

Last devbuild + no PPAA + no mod
AMD7850 + 13.3 beta driver
Zonealarm firewall in game mode.
Trackir 3 pro + Trackir software 5.2
win7 64
i53750K @ 4.4 ghz (stable oc on every other games)

I still can't play more than 5-10 minutes...

IMPORTANT:

Do note that it seems that I got ride of those crashes when uninstalling Zone Alarm AND downclocking my CPU to 4.3Ghz...
It is strange because when I keep Zone Alarm installed and I push down my CPU overclock to even stock clock, I still encounter those crashes.

At 4.4Ghz, my cpu is stable with multiple games (combat mission afghanistan, DCS black shark, mass effect3) and I can run an OCCT stress test during one hour without errors.

It seems that it is the combination of Zone Alarm + a high CPU overclock that makes the game crash.

This is typicall Zone Alarm issue. Lot of players had this problem, until they did uninstall Zone Alarm.
