I was having the same problem with my system:
EVGA NVidia NForce 680i Mobo with twin 7600s running SLI
2 gigs of ram 800mhz
e6600 intel dual core
I was overclocking the CPU FSB and mem slightly and have been all the way through playing Doom 3 and Oblivion with max settings. I started playing farcry at max and no problems till the pier when you blow up the armory. It would just freeze, music still playing, image on the screen, but system locked up. Sometimes it would reboot, sometimes I had to press reset... I applied the 1.4 patch to no avail, reinstalled to no avail, tried the 1.33 patch to no avail, turned off all Overclocks to standard to no avail (99% sure this has nothing to do with it since I overclocked it on Nov 8th and haven't had any problems until farcry 18 days later), I checked driver version to find I was up to date and finally turned down the video settings in game from very high/ultra to high. It let me finaly blow up the armory and I got as far as the tree top level and it happened again. still stuck. I noticed it always happens while switching weapons so I'm 99% sure it is a bug dealing with some visual effect of the scope or binoculars because I think it only happened when switching to rifle or binoculars.
