I have been playing Arma 3 pretty much non-stop since the beta with over 500 hours logged, mostly playing Wasteland. This past week my game started to crash at the menu screen and it does a hard lock and sometimes a restart of my computer. I have tried pretty much everything I could find online to fix the crashing from reinstalling to trying all the different launch options. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my hardware because I can play all my other games for hours without a problem and I have thrown all kinds of benchmarks and stress tests against the computer and I cannot crash it or have it show any signs of problems. I even tested the HDD and moved the Steam directory to a different HDD and still no luck.
Today I realized that there are sometimes minidump files generated when the crash happens and the screenshot below shows the result. This only happens sometimes. This indicates a problem with the video card, but still this problem only happens with Arma 3. I reinstalled the video drivers and did the driver sweeper to make sure and still no luck.

I have also tried several different video drivers, reinstalled Arma 3 several times and tried the dev branch.
Any ideas?
Also, if you think this is a problem with the hardware then please tell me what I could do to reproduce it. All of my other games, benchmarks, and stress tests I throw at my computer do not crash it or show any signs of problems.
