crash in multiplayer

Description

Since I reinstalled my Windows I can't play multiplayer anymore. Everytime I play MP it takes between 5 and 60 min ArmA 3 will start lagging (Sound and Picture), also textures and models start glitching out. All I can do is wait and don't give the game any input and after a few minutes it either catches back up and does the same after a while or it will just crash without any error report and normally without stopping the ArmA3 task, which I have to terminate manually. Also the closed yellow desync chain will appear for a few seconds when the problem appears.

This will only happen in multiplayer and never happen in singleplayer or editor.

Edit: Since the latest DEV patch (from the 16.08.2013) this happens in singleplayer and editor too. {F21328} {F21329}

Details

Legacy ID: 3763116840
Severity: None
Resolution: Suspended
Reproducibility: Always
Category: Game Crash

Steps To Reproduce

Play multiplayer for some time.

Additional Information

I've tried reinstalling Windows 7 and 8 over and over again, used different nVidia drivers (Beta and normal), reinstalling the game, tried ArmA 3 Beta and ArmA 3 Beta Dev.
All drivers are up to date.
CPU usage when the problem appears is about 30%, RAM is at about 40%.
CPU and GPU are not getting over 40° Celsius.

All textures will start loading over and over again, the model will glitch into the ground and put the arms down on the sides just like the ChopperHeavy_lux_GetOut_H animation in the editors animation menu.

No I don't use hardware overclocking.
DxDiag is already attached, you should be able to find your requested files here: http://rapidshare.com/files/1662192784/Arma%203.rar

Short addition here, whenever the problem appears, the GPU usage goes from between 60% and 99% to between 00% and 20%. The game just seem to stop using the graphics card until it crashes or starts working again.

Nothing helpful in crashdump. Can you upload more crashdumps please? Thank you.

I don't know if I can upload anymore because the game won't crash anymore it just goes to a blackscreen and task manager says it stopped responding but it won't crash so I have to terminate the task.
Also the problem might be related to the day/night cycle, because I found out that when I rapidly change the time in the camera mode in editor this problem will appear in like 2 of 3 times.
I'll see if there are more crashdumps and try to ge get the game to crash.

Just managed to get the game to crash crashdumps: http://rapidshare.com/files/2354811824/Arma%203%20Crashdumps.rar

Thank you for your files.

You don't have to thank me for that, I have to thank you for your work. :)

Problem has gotten worse since the Altis update, whenever I try to start Altis in editor or MP the game starts having the problem in the loading screen already and goes to a blackscreen 1 min after it has loaded.

Problem solved. Solution: went from 32 bit OS to 64 bit.

Well..i m on 64 bit also but MP is still a nightmare regarding framerate.
I admit my CPU is not powerfull enough..but going from SP to MP..it's chaotic difference..

Giorgy did you try the -nologs command?

I 've made -nologs a 'standard' parameter from 1st day available :)

OK, well I have no clue then :(
