You should add a crash report and dxdiag to your issue. Tutorial here:

This had been an issue with ARMA2:OA before as well as the DayZ mod. The fix for it was to launch using the following parameters:

-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=dummy;expansion

Won't solve your problem but may help the Dev team troubleshoot.

You should upload the entire dxdiag.txt file

yes i just launched it with those parameters now what?

I would recommend trying to update your drivers

auto detect does not work for me + no new updates for my driver

We are very sorry, but your graphics card is not supported. Please try to run the game only on NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT, AMD Radeon HD 3830, Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 512 MB VRAM or higher.
