    Sudden Black Screen with Sound

    Hi,

    After finishing almost 15% of the game, I started to get a sudden black screen with sound (the display enters a power save mode) - it happens only with Far Cry.
    First time it started after a cut-scene for a mission, but after it started to happen anywhere, while wandering - even in the main menu.
    I have AMD Readon R9 270X / Intel Core i3 -2120 3.3GHZ / 8 GB memory / Windows 7 64 bit.
    I've tried to verify the files, updating the drivers, updating the directx/r3/...
    I've also tried to turn off autosaves (found somewhere in the web it might help).
    I also tried to play the game in windowed mode.
    but nothing helped.

    What can I do?
