Arma 3 Crashing

[SoS Fallen Legend]

So people i bought this game like a year and half, and still each time i try to play it, i can but in the mid of any game weather was it Showcase or multiplayer it crashes in mid way and make me shutdown or restart my computer/Laptop my computer is I5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz (RAM) 4.00 GB (3.89 GB usable) System type 64-bit,gfd

If the game always crashes in the middle of a game, and makes your PC shutdown/restart it's most likely a cooling issue.

Verify that it isn't an issue with Arma 3 by checking the logs/crash-dumps at
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Arma 3\, open the .RPT file of the crash and check the bottom for crash dump info.

i cant see them all though i get sometimes error's as DX11 thing is removed or not found, and there is a lot of RTP files here and lot of attempts in the bottom each one of them

what make and model of laptop? Like Vitdom says above. Most issues with crashes during game play are over heating and being a laptop it could be the issue. There is setting for dealing with cooling and cpu usaged you can change. I already posted a long post about this. So let me find it and I'll repost it for you here.
Open up Control panel >hardware and sound > power options. Here you will see the power plan for your computer. Make sure the High Performance setting is checked first. That will allow your computer to run at the maximun settings. Then look to the right of the High performance line and you will see the option to open Change Plan Settings> change advance power settings. Open it and lets make sure your computer is working at the max. The second option is Hard Disk -Turn off hard disk after - change to NEVER. Now go to SLEEP - change four setting to NEVER - OFF - NEVER - DISABLE. Net is USB setting change it to DISABLE. Next PCI Express set to OFF. Next is Processor Power management. Change settings to MAX and Minimum CPU to 100% system cooling to active. Click ok and close eveything. Last is to check your network adapter and make sure its not being put to sleep by windows ( yeah it will do that ) Open Control panel >Network and Internet > Network and sharing center. Look on the left side and click on change adapter settings. It will open a window with alll your network adapters on your computer, Both Wi-Fi and Ethernet ones. Look for the one that you are using and right click on it, and then click on properties. Next click on Configure, and then the Power Management Tab. Uncheck the Box that says " Allow the computer to turn this device off to save power."

DX11 is part of the Video Graphics. Run DXDIAG . Go to your start Globe for windows and type that in the Search box & run it. It'll check video, sound and some other stuff on your system for errors. If it's an Laptop it my be getting too hot & crashing. Go in your Game settings and set it to the lowest setttings , then adjust upward till it crashes again then back the settings down.

Definately could be GPU overheating if the card is resetting. You'll need to monitor those somehow. Either MSI Afterburner, or OpenHardware Monitor will do this, both are free downloads.

Could also be PSU, but if it's a laptop this probably isn't the case.

windows 10 on Laptop i figured i can play much more in laptop than PC it just lags lacking of heat and FPS maybe all though i have it 71 FPS

If you're running 71fps on Arma 3 that's dam good
