Devbranch update 0.77.109860
Experiencing Freeze-crash shortly after mission start or editor preview.
Game freezes and I must turn off the machine.
I have had 4 of the same crashes in the last half hour, one of which displayed a BSOD.

I am running a fairly old system, so there is a possibility that it is hardware related. Up until this point I don't remember having a freeze crash so consistently on starting ARMA.
I will carry on testing for any.

Event Timeline
.bidmp and .mdmp files were not created? These files should be created with .rpt file after every crash.
So I have played for the last few hours with no crash. Tested with the same missions and editor situations. The only change I made was reducing the view distance from est 4600 to 2100. Not sure which part of my hardware the view distance draws most, but usually bsods are down to low/faulty RAM.
No details yet to give people, but on DEV version 0.77.109860 over to last two days my PC just Freezes/Crashes the only way to get back is to reboot my PC, not great help I know but I think somethings not right.....
