FIXED! thanks guys. with 64 bit upgrade my levels of GPU memory usage were lowered at least 4x. played for about 30 minutes high settings no crash in Novo. lesson learned, don't use 32 bit on a beast lol

Appreciate it a ton! memory usage being limited was my primary culprit, I just wasn't sure how to fix it. I'll update to 64 bit and come back when I'm done to let you know if it fixed it or not :)

wasn't aware, like I said I'm new to building my own system. I'm assuming switching to 64-bit now would wipe everything I have downloaded correct? I ran 32 because of compatability, I use OBS to stream and atm it is 32 bit only ( so I think -__- ) if that's the case that is most likely my problem and would explain why my GPU memory goes through the roof when running DayZ. I'd like conformation from some others before switching though. I can easily re-download all my programs if switching OS wipes them

32-bit

temps vary from 29C to 42C. very cool considering the amount of graphics I am pulling, especially while recording and streaming simultaneously. everything but the three "GPU" rules I mentioned stay the same or lower. idle temp is around 26-29. no overclocking. my drivers are all up to date.

yeah. I have over 100 hours in DayZ, this just started when I built this new computer :I

I recently built a new computer to deal with recording and streaming games like DayZ in 45-60 fps. I run the game excellent, 50-60fps in cities and forest, but crash randomly to desktop with the message "DayZ has stopped working" every 5-20 minutes. In game my character ( as described by friends ) runs in a straight line, then at some point begins the logging off animation. If I attempt to log onto the same server after reloading DayZ, my character is frozen and I have to ctrl+alt+delete out of the game and switch servers to become unstuck. This problem persists even when not streaming and while DayZ is the only app running. I have already tried: Switching core affinity Lowering graphics Balancing graphics Changing performance modes on OS and GPU Monitored GPU heat, not overheating Uninstalling/reinstalling DayZ completely multiple times Verifying integrity of game cache My Specs are: Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell Quad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL10D- CORSAIR AX series AX760 760W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power ...

I'm new to building computers and how they work, so getting to this point has been a great learning experience but I can't figure this one out :I please, any help is appreciated. thanks! PS this only occurs with DayZ, I have tested Team Fortess 2 in highest graphics, Rust, CS-go, etc.
