Just upgraded pc. I have i5 3770k, asus p8z77 lk v mobo, pny gtx 660ti, 8gb ram. I can play on medium graphics for bioshock but farcry 3 won't even load. It's not a memory issue, put in 2 new ones to check. Same results. Crashes to blue screen. Any help would be appreciated. The bios on the bottom reads
0x00000050. It also reads page fault in non paged area.

You might be experiencing some HDD problems. I would do the following to check your HDD.

To run check disk, go to the 'run' option in the Start menu, and type:

cmd

Pressing enter should open a black screen with white text called the command prompt. Type

chkdsk

and press enter. Windows will run through checking the status of the drive and will tell you if it finds any errors. It is probable that windows will want to restart prior to running chkdsk. This enables the program to scan files that are locked and in use by the operating system by running before windows loads.

If chkdsk finds an error, you will want to run the command again, this time adding the /F switch telling chkdsk to fix any errors it has found on the volume. Fixing issues on a disk can take some time so be patient. To tell chkdsk to fix errors type into the command prompt:

chkdsk /F
Hope this helps.
