Game Randomly Crashing

[Cajmandu 0]

Good morning all. I've been having random game crashes every time I play DayZ. Sometimes it takes 2 hours to CTD sometimes less than 10 minutes. I'll share with you my computer specs, crash logs and what I've tried to remedy the situation (quite extensive). Whenever the game crashes the screen begins flashing white and the graphics become very jumbled on the screen. The audio also seems to bug out slightly and I get a small amount of odd sounds through my headphones. Another side effect of this is that after the game crashes I can not re-open DayZ Commander, Arma2 or ANY browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE). I simply get a program has stopped working message. I do notice that after a computer re-boot and restarting game it does seems to crash quicker. I do not have this issue with any other games.

Computer Specs:

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 3.2ghz

Video: XFX Radeon 5750 1GB

Ram: 4GB G.Skill

Audio: Realtek HD

HD: WD 1TB Black

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

The game was downloaded through Steam and I used DayZCommander to install DayZ and it's components. This happens on multiple servers.

I have tried unpluging my Logitech USB webcam I was using for a mic and using a standard analog headset. Replaced RAM with new sticks. Re-Installed ALL applicable programs (DayZ, Commander, Arma2), deleted tbb4malloc_bi.dll from game directory (although it keeps re-appearing), verified all files, turned audio to 16bit on Realtek HD audio adapter and in-game, updated or verified that all hardware drivers are most up-to-date through manufacturer, switched from using dual monitors to a single monitor. Nothing I do seems to work. All components are running cool (nothing over 60c) and I have tested every graphic setting in the game down to low. Thank you all in advance for any assistance you can offer and if you would like to see the actual dump files I can attach those as well or provide them for download. Thank you again.

Here are some example crash reports:

Not sure if this is relevant or not but it seems to happen more frequently when I'm playing with others and riding in a ground vehicle. I just finished a two hour session of playing by myself crawling through a forest. Sometimes I glitch out 200 yards after jumping into a ground vehicle. The game has as of yet to glitch when flying in a heli.

Man I have the same f***ing problem here!

Tried to run the game in my work pc (wich is a 2nd generation core i3 with 4gb ram, onboard graphics) and it never crashed although it runs always under 30fps even in the minimum specs.

My pc specs:

MSI 890FXA-GD65

Phenom II X4 965BE @ 3.7GHz

8GB 1600MHz DDR3 Corsair Vengeance

XFX Radeon HD5850 1GB

Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit

I'll try running the processor at stock speed but the crash seems video related to me.

If I find a solution I'll post it here...

Any solution? I might wanna try it as well.
