Concerning your upgrade, what brand and model is your motherboard?

As for Far Cry crashing, be sure you're fully patched. There's half a dozen of patches for Far Cry, all helping compatibility and adding functions. Try to heat your video card by running a few instances of RTHDRIBL with maximum settings. See if your computer crashes.

I ran three instances for a good 2-3 minutes and no problems. Although it appears when there is a 3D intensive game on the computer's fans are a lot louder. So I'm being lead to think there's a blockage of dust in the graphics card's fan. Which I will clean out tomorrow and report back with results for.

Let it for more than 2 -3 minutes. Try 4 instances all showing up with maximum anti-aliasing + anisotropic filtering and all the effects on, all side by side or something. 15 minutes or so should heat it enough.
Consider it might not be your graphics card that is the problem, but your CPU fan or such since you said it gets noticeably louder normally. RTHDRIBL will not stress your CPU in the way a game could.

Can anyone tell me the command to use a CD image on DOSBox for this image:

\Games\PC\WO\wipeout.bin
\Games\PC\WO\wipeout.cue

??

Use D-fend instead of using basic DOSBox. It'll be easier for you.

I've tried it before, I found it a lot more complicated than learning the commands themselves.

not familiar with dosbox, but i can tell you that the .bin file is the actual data..

the .cue file is just a file that tells w.e. burning program you use how to burn it and such.... (note: that is a very very very very oversimplified explanation of .cue)

Em, I do know. I'm new to DOSBOX not disc images.
