Are you drivers all current and up to date and does this only happen with FC3 and no other game?

yes, all drivers are up to date, far cry 3 is the only game this happens with.

wich cards are you sli'ing ?
because i was running 680's and one of the cards wasn't performing like it should and i had trouble with freezing in far cry 3 to, not that i had to perform hard shutdowns, but pull a card out and test them one by one, just to make sure your cards are fine

I'm running two 660 ti's, i know it's not that one is bad though because i get great scaling in every other game I play, and I've tested both individually and had no crashes.

well, do you have the geforce experience from nvidia? it's a program that gives the optimal settings for each game, maybe try that?
