Hi everyone

After i recently started playing Far Cry 4 (played Bf3+4 on same pc) my pc randomly during
game goes to blackscreen and leaves the power on. I then need to restart the pc in order to do anything at all.
This only happens in Far Cry 4.. I have tuned down the graphics in game but same shit happens.
Anyone knows what could be going on?

PC SPECS:
GA-Z68AP-D3 Mobo
Intel i5-2500k 3.30GHz
Nvidia 570gtx
8gb kingstom ram
Samsung SSD 120gb for OS and games
1TB HDD for others

 
Solution
Check for updated drivers for the video card and a new BIOS for the motherboard.

This issue is very rare in only one game unless the other games you play are not nearly as demaning on the hardware as Far Cry 4.

Download the 3DMark benchmark and run it a few times, see if the system is stable doing that.

Outside of this happening in one game, the issue points to a bad video card, possibly the power supply.
