My PC keeps crashing.

It might not be that, but it seems to be happening to a few friends of mine. Also the same thing happened the first time vista came out. I have no idea why but it's most likely just bugs. Disappointing tbh.

I'd love to go back to Windows 7 but I have far to much stuff on it to re-install it and currently I don't feel like doing that.

I just hope it better not do this with Farcry 3 otherwise i'll be marching back into OCUK's store asking for a refund.

any more ideas?

Does anyone think it could be a Motherboard issue? it seems like the only thing to me that it could be now.

I know couple people running Windows 8 me included and I not had any games not work.

I know many people using windows 8 and games not running properly for them. Try windows 7, wait for the developers to fix the windows 8 problem and try again Might take a while though, and is probably something to do with microsoft, not the game studio.
Hope this helps

What is that?

It's application profiles that AMD release For Xfire GPU and also now and then Single GPU performance fixes. You should have them installed with the 12.11 drivers.
Think of the like Hotfixes

Also not sure if you tried. But try switching xfire off and run the game on single GPU. Maybe this game has issues with xfire?

I tried that with each card indivdually. I get the same result except it flashes yellow with black lines across the screen first then crashes.

Il try those updates tho and see if it gets any luck. Just gotta wait for my backup to finish before I can restart now after I've installed them.

I think its my Mobo, just somehow but I can't exactly send it back without knowing for sure it's at fault.
