Whole system freezing - Possibly Windows 10 related
New, WishlistPublic

Description

My whole PC is freezing when playing Arma 3. I'm using Windows 10 64 bit and I have the latest GPU, SSD and BIOS drivers installed.

Basically, I'm playing and suddenly without any stuttering or fps drop my screen freezes and everything is unresponsive. Then I have to do a hard reset to be able to use the PC again.

This happens mostly on multiplayer but I've had this freeze a few times in single player also. It's a lot more frequent on multiplayer though.

The problem is completely unpredictable and sometimes I can play for hours without problems and sometimes just spawning on to a server locks my system completely. When this has occured and I've restarted my system, joining the same server will cause my system freeze again when I spawn on to the server.

I have had mild overclock on CPU, RAM and GPU. Bringing them to default and even underclocking them didn't make a difference. (FPS is worse obviously) I've done multiple system stability checks and everything is fine.

Previously I had Windows 8 64 bit installed and I had no problems playing Arma 3. My theory is that this problem is somehow related to Windows 10.

Also, I cannot provide any crash dumb reports as there's none in the folder mentioned in "How To Guide".

I will try different GPU drivers and see if that's the problem, but I doubt that.

Specs:
FX-8350 - CPU
Gigabyte GTX 760 - GPU
TeamGroup 8GB 1600Mhz - RAM
Samsung EVO 850 - SSD (Arma 3 installed on this)
