    Anyone else had this problem with Far Cry 3?

    I tried posting this in the technical help part but 28 people viewed it and didn't bother posting anything. So it used to crash on me but then I lowered the quality of it and then it went fine but recently I have found that ever since I have had Far Cry 3 on my PC it has made my PC go funny from time to time. Now when i say 'funny' I mean this: My WiFi signal of 5 bars remains but Skype disconnects, I cannot load webpages and since I am in Chrome when I go to load a page the blue loading circle does turn but every second or so it stops turning, then in the next seconds it jumps ahead to where it should be. It is like that with everything. When i try to move the mouse, it jumps, when i try to listen to a song it stops, watch a video it stops e.t.c. This always goes whenever I restart the machine but it's just a pain to have to do that. it doesn't happen at any specific time just randomly. If it's relevant:

    Intel Core i3-3220
    AMD Radeon HD 7750
    8GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHz
    450W Corsair PSU
    Asus Z77 P8-LV

    It does it even when Far Cry 3 is not even running and it never does it when I don't have Far Cry 3 installed.

    Just been looking at a similar thread to this and my parts are never overclocked and I have it now at 720p low settings, any higher and it will just crash.

    Your 7750 is a half-cut ram bus (just 128bit width) hence a slow gaming card .. your bus width should be at least 256bit for proper gaming.

    That's bull because I have an hd5770 and the game runs just fine. 128 bit bandwidth only is a problem when running Ultra settings or a high resolution. You wont do either with midrange cards.

    With that said I have no solution to your problems. It could be a ram issue. You might want to run some benchmarks to see if there's any particular part slowing down your system.

    When I say proper gaming I mean Ultra mode - I did not mean to fix OP's crashes
