Do you mean single player for arma 2?

Ok so I've done all of these things aside from checking the RAM. I will be doing that later tonight since you said it takes so long. The last thing I did was install the video card beta patch, and I have yet to run dayz since I've done so. According to my research online; my fan and temps are normal. It's still very strange to me that my computer only crashes for Dayz... and no other higher demanding games for performance. One thing I noticed when I clicked options in game was that the interface graphics are set to 32 bit computer, and so is my battle eye. I don't know if/how to check if the game itself is 32 bit, but I'm wondering if this could potentially be the problem? Also, does checking the error logs reported after the blue screen actually work, or is it sort of a shades of grey kind of thing? On a side note which is probably unrelated, I'm missing the driver for my USB controller... don't know if that would affect anything but I thought I'd throw it out there. I'll post again after I run the game with the new beta driver, and if that doesn't work, I'll check the RAM. Thanks for your help, Jibbs

I haven't tried taking out hardware that isn't needed to run the game. There is nothing that happens that triggers the blue screen that I have seen so far... so thus far I've assumed it was my software until last night. I'm not sure how my fan is performing, or how to even see what the temperature is at any given point. Before I start trying to troubleshoot any hardware issues, can I get suggestions on a driver or any software that I may be missing to run this correctly? The blue screen started happening to me after I tried to uninstall a few programs to make my computer run faster.... this was all before I wiped it. I have installed the latest adobe flash player, as well as direct x. I've checked for the latest driver updates for my video card, as well as almost everything else, through device manager. Thanks for your input, Jibbs

I'm posting this as a last resort, because I've tried doing everything I can to fix this issue. I have a very good computer. 3.3 Ghz processor, a 2 GB AMD video card, and 8 GB of RAM. When i first started playing Dayz, I installed everything, and downloaded my patch from this website http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php I ran the executable file, and always launched the dayz mod with beta patch. These were the instructions I had given my friends, and everything works fine for them. Everything was running fine for me for the first 3 weeks, and then all of a sudden I started getting the blue screen of death and random times in games. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, which made no difference. It got to the point where just trying to choose a server gave me the blue screen every time. I then completely reinstalled windows 7, and downloaded everything fresh. I even switched to the play withsix mod application, and let it update to the new patch that way. I thought everything was running smoothly, but my computer crashed about 3 separate random times last night... I downloaded directx and adobe flash after reformatting my hard drive. This being faulty hardware crossed my mind, but I play the new starcraft and Heroes of Newerth with no issues on this computer... so I believe it's a software issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Jibbs
