pc shutdown,reason far cry 3

i have been playing far cry 3 for some time but in last few days my pc shut down twice beacuse of this game,on the same spot,when you need to cill that giant with the mask.how can i insert game booster diag file so you someone can see what is going on?

Specs?

yea, please provide your full system spec, ambient temp, your cooling setup, etc...also grab a program called RealTemp 3.70 and give me your reading temp while FarCry is running, as well as Afterburner and do the same thing for your GFX temp while playing the game.

Started happening to me a while ago too. I used to play it flawlessly since launch then one day I started it up and the whole game locked up ran at like 1 fps and all the background textures disappeared and I could see through things then my system would lock up forcing a hard reset. It's not my hardware either as they run everything else really well with no problems like that. 

Is any of your rig overclocked? I heard that was an issue with FC3, any overclokcs cause this.

ambient temp between 15-20 degrees

haven't overclocked anything

15-20 degrees? We aren't asking about the room temperature dude :P

Again do me a favor and run RealTemp 3.70 as well as afterburner and give me your CPU and GPU temps while playing Farcry 3, all in all im 70% convinced that your system is overheating.

New GPUs can take up to 100c but from your system spec and how old they are, I can certainly tell it's matter of overheating issue. I really don't wanna sound rude or anything but your system is really old, if you wanna keep up with new games you need to look into building a brand new unit from scratch which won't cost much since parts are really cheap these days.

about cooling,i have cooler master 200mm blue led fan,and still nothingjourneyman96

90 degrees on your gpu is quite hot. If I remember correctly a GT220 is a rebadged 9500GT which is a rebadged 8600GT, and back then they couldn't take the heat as well as modern cards.

Has anyone seen the glitch with the bottle stuck to the player's hand with the bow? my friend quit playing because of that lol

If you are using Nvidia, the drivers give you the option of using the Nvidia system monitor, which will give you the ability to see many things in real time, (you can even have it on top of the game, or on a separate screen while the game plays)

GPU usage, temps

RAM usage

CPU usage, Temps +tj max temps.

(and a whole hell of a lot more, but thost are the ones I mainly worry about)

All in All it doesnt' seem to be inaccurate, matches what other temp programs say when I tested it. 

how good is gtx260 1792mb gs? is it better than 6950 or gtx560 or 7750journeyman96

[QUOTE="kraken2109"][QUOTE="journeyman96"] GTX 260 is 5 years old and slower than those 3 cards you posted.journeyman96

My PC has a mild 200Mhz overclock plus unlocking of an extra core (from triplecore to quadcore). Far Cry 3 hasn't had any hiccups except when there is a patch in the pipeline. What that happens, I'll get repeated crashes to the desktop until the patch auto-installs.
