This is new, as the title says my pc shutdown when playing dayz. I've had dayz since the first day and this past days this started to happen. Also happens with arma 3, i bought arma 3 about 2-3 months ago and after the 2nd week of having it suddlenly is shutdown. To be more specific my monitor goes black and then my pc shutsdown, this is scary/annoying for me as I don't really know much about hardawre/software. I bring up that happened to me in arma 3 because during those 2-3 months i barely played dayz, most likely I didnt played it. I think it has to deal with Arma 3 and dayz, because I havent anyother games in a while and I don't think it happens with those other games (Payday2, minecraft, rust, etc..) This morning my pc shutdown 3 times in less than 10 minutes when playing dayz. The last shutdown was after 1-2 minutes of joining a server. This didn't happen with arma so bad. In arma 3 the worst situation was after 5-7 minutes of playing, this is 1-2 minutes!!! I made a memmory test, and nothing, I check my temperatures and they are almost in the max, if not they are in the max when on desktop. Now I havent check them when playing but I will. I'm not quiet sure if the shutdowns started after setting launch parameters, but I allready got raid of them, I also edited this GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; Expecting to get a few mor frames, I don't know if this makes a difference but I havent put it back to the default. Even thou I'm not sure if I did this before or after the first dayz shuttdown, I think it was after. My PC is not a beast or anything like that, some of you might say it sucks, some others might say it's allright here are my specs HD Radeon 6670 2gbAMD Radeon FX-41002x4gb RAM Gskill DDR 3 I don't know my power supply but it's 500watts Please help me, give moe some programs to test my hardware, should I call someone that knows about pc's to help me ? I need updates ? Anything will help -Update- I already turned my power settings from balanced to high power hoping that this helps. -Update- 6/12/14 I realize my PSU is 300w and it says that the max is 280w (It's weird) and my mother board is GA-78LMT-USB3 from Gigabyte.which I dont know at all how good the motherboard is but I think that the PSU is knidda too low, I made a test in a web page that tells me my minimum PSU by my pc specs and my minimum should be 273w from the 280w max my PSU can run. That without taking in the 2 fans I have which I think both of them are 120mm and have red lights (not sure how much power they can take) I guess this is the problem, please give me thoughts and please tell me if my motherboard is bad, or fine, or good for gaming, just wondering. -Update- 7/12/14Just bought a 550w power supply, I hope it works and fixes my problem. Thanks for all the support

Really appreciate all your help and I dont think I changed that but ill be cheking it out, cant find it jajaja

So am i supposed to have dayz in normal priority, high, very high or what ? Thank you!

I've seen something about tasks, I don't know very much about it, if you could please tell me how to see that ? I got windows 8

Whats do I clean ? how ? I got windows 8, mybe recovery is it what you mean ?

What did you do to fix it ?

1. I bought my PC to play dayz mod. 2. Never bought Arma 2 CO because I was scared on buying it and the next day SA releasing (If you followed SA during July-November 2013 the release date was close and no one knew when was coming out) 3. At this point I still have some attraction from the mod 4. I like the mod over SA and I havent played it never. 5. I just have 200hours in SA and bought it since the release date

Ohh yeah because everyone wants to spawn and have a disease

No

Those are hot points, I love them.

Whats wrong with you ?

So I heard a lot from rocket that mods are essential part for developing, and if they're so important why are they going to be added at Q4 when almost the whole game is done ?

So that's why ? Thanks!!

why cant you make it bigger with sticks ?

Mexican Charro ;)

no

100% sure this hasn't been suggested before. So with the new ability we have to chop down trees, I thought it would be cool crafting a raft. How ? I devs gave us the ability to chop down pinetrees to get wood logs would be the first step. Rope would have a new use to the game. After chop down some wood logs we would start creating a base with 4 logs and 2 ropes. After having the base we would need to get 2 more ropes and 6 more logs to complete the first part After that you need 2 ashwood sticks to make a long stick You add 2 pieces of cloth (Tshirts) and Why just 4 ropes ? They're rare to find Why to do a raft ? -Can hold up to 2 people -Can hold 2 backpacks space (full backpacks) -slow but faster than swimming -When you get off shore you can get bigger fish (needs to be added if they add a raft) -Fish in it -You are able to shoot from it -Faster than walking, go along the coastline faster -Static item to the server (when you log off the raft stay in the server) How to hide it somewhere ? get near the coast put a rope and it wont go away, make sure is kindda hide Tell me what you think (Sorry about the images, it wouldnt let me add better ones) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVXPC8nLeBA

You will get tired once they add cars

Tents are fundamental part of dayz

I know just the .22 is underpowered point.

Ohh yeah i know, i've shot weapons all my life, i mean that .22 in dayz is underpowered and a gunshot is a gunshot that has the same possibilities of kill you no mather is a .22 or a 762

Na i rather a normal base. actually the H1Z1 base system is good and it would be good in dayz

A shot from a 22 will be as lethal as a 7.62 depending on where you get hit
