When playing Arma III, almost always of the time my PC absolutely freezes becouse of no reason. Everything works fine untill the game just freezes, and freezes my PC. I think it's a Beta failure, but it's something that needs to be solved for sure.
When the game crashes there are no weird noices and nothing weird happens to the screen (it stays on the picture where it froze, like my character aiming down the sight) But there aren't any messages afterwards... It does give me a oppurtunity to restart the PC in "Safe Mode" becouse of the crash.
I do NOT have this problem with other games and it only happens playing online, when offline nothing will freeze so it has nothing to do with the CPU, GPU or MOBO!!!
I hope this will be enough info...
