DAYZ and ARMA constant crashes due to Inreferenced memory error

[AustinsPCguru]

I recently upgraded to 1440p and now my two favorite games are completely unplayable.... What's the use of spending money on stuff if nothing works?
I constantly get THE instruction at 0x referenced memory at 0x. The memory could not be read..
Someone please help me.

AustinsPCGuru, do you want to help us out with some detail? System specs, temps, what you were using before, what you upgraded. And the attitude of:

Will get you no where in life.

Went from a 1080p 60hz monitor to a acer predator 144hz

nothing else changed? and what temps are you seeing. and have you installed the monitor drivers? what driver version for nvidia?

Well, there's the problem: you replaced your old monitor with one that requires a lot more horsepower to run (1440p has a lot more pixels in play than 1080p), but you didn't change the GPU. Kind of like taking the engine out of a Chevy Aveo, installing it in the much larger Impala, & then being surprised when it struggles to get above 55 MPH on the freeway.

http://www.techspot.com/review/712-arma-3-benchmarks/page3.html: GTX 770 hits 62 FPS @ 1680x1050 (equivalent to your old monitor), & 51 FPS @ 1920x1200 (near top for your new monitor) at Very High Quality.

http://www.techspot.com/review/712-arma-3-benchmarks/page4.html: GTX 770 drops to 48 & 40 FPS at Ultra Quality.

Essentially, it looks like for this game you either need to add a 2nd GTX 770 in SLI (103/89 FPS @ Very High quality, 80/71 FPS @ Ultra Quality), or replace the 770 with something a lot more powerful (GTX 970, R9 390, etc.).

But that should not cause a crash, just poor framerates.

Ah, "unplayable= it keeps crashing", rather than "unplayable = the framerates dropped".

That's definitely a different issue. Are the crashes only happening with those games, or in all games? Also, when you say "crash", do you mean the entire system crashes -- BSOD, reboot, goes into a shutdown loop, etc. -- or that only the game crashes & you end up back on your desktop? I noticed that the benchmarks for Arma 3 were for...well, I hesitate to say "weird" resolutions, but let's just say they're not exactly "common": all 3 of the resolutions listed on Techspot had a ratio of 8:5, where usual ratios are either 4:3 (old-style "narrow") or 16:9 (standard widescreen). Is it possible that your new monitor's available resolutions aren't compatible with the resolutions used in Arma 3?
