any ideas?

are there any patches for that game I havn't played it in a while

i dont believe so. i JUST downloaded it, so it should be up to date.

I do believe there were 3 patches for that game, check it out.

Now, I played on a lesser rig w/o problems so it seems to me that would I try is the following... no harm, just waste of a little time.
Download the patches first, not through the game but direct source and save on a local temp folder.
Download the latest drivers for your audio and Video
Uninstall the game completely, before you restart...do the same with video and audio drivers
Get into safe mode
Run CCleaner once you are there... clean temp files and Registry
Back to windows and let windows install generic drivers for audio and video
Go to Temp folder and install newer versions of your drivers... don't forget to Run as Administrator.
Restart if needed.
Install fresh FC3 game... restart for good measure
Install Patch 1.0 and restart
Ditto with all the other patches
Try the game with normal setting or the settings that game wants to give you, only change the Video Resolution so it is in your native settings.
