I have an intel i7 and yes I have the latest drivers installed...is this the first time this has been reported here? Cause on the steam feedback thing a lot of people report this kind of crash

We need dxdiag and files from this folder for solve your problem. C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha\
Can you upload somewhere in winrar package please?
When package will be smaller than 2,097k, so you can attach here. Thank you.

Please try use -nobenchmark command line option.
Right click on Arma III in your Steam Library>Properties>Set launch options

I'm sorry I couldn't provide the necessary files cause my laptop died... Anyway I'm getting a Lenovo Y500 so hopefully it would work on that one thanks anyways

did you try running steam as admin? that's the reason for all my startup crashes
