I have recently upgraded my system and after a clean install of Winxp and all updates the first game i put back on the system was Far Cry and the most current patch, at this point i am unable to complete the training segment of the game without my system rebooting... i can play for aprox 15-20 minutes then the system simply reboots itself, i have wrangled with possible hardware demons for over a week, monitoring heat levels(36C Idle 44C under load), swapping out ram etc. Last night i installed doom and played for over an hour without problems, both games were set to the medium graphics options by the system auto detect, so at this point i am back to thinking this has to be a game/compatibility problem. My system is an XP3200 with 1gb of ram, video card is geforce5200 running the 61.77 Geforce drivers. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
