FSX Crashing /freezing !

2007-07-19 08:54:57 UTC

Hello,

Not easy,

The SP1 FSX boost effectly FSX, but it is not
realy stable, i need to reinstall 2 time my one.

Do you activate specficic dual core option experiment into FSX SP1 ?
that is absolutly not stable in FSX.

Randomize freze memory error, may be, look
nvidia driver update with your 7950 GX2 series
when specfic graphic action is asked.

I have 8800 GTX nvidia with Directx 10, i have no more problem, after
update driver.

Try to test with all setting graphic to low, just for see.
if no crash, up the setting step by step.

Regards

Howdy guys'n girls. I have a problem here :(
My FSX Freezes randomly, sometimes in seconds after the graphics start
rolling...
Sometimes i can enjoy flying 1 hour or so...but it eventually
freezes/crashes
After the crash i have to alt tab to windows and kill the process from
taskmanager.
after that i cant start fsx anymore before reboot, if i do so, it will try
to start, after it has allocated 50megs off ram, the process stops using
any cpu resources and hangs there.
I have clean installed xp with all updates / Sp2 / DirectX / newest
forceware
FSX is clean installed and updated to sp1 + c++ redist sp1
Note that the exactly same freeze/crash happens also when i tried this
with clean installed 64bit xp. with all the updates and ....yada yada....
I have tried to run the game in different scenery settings, with and
without AA, i have tried every combination that i can figure. also tried
it in windowed mode...
have run dxdiag, everything passes, all ok according to that.
Have tried to lower my direct sound accel.....no use.
I dont have any heat issues what so ever with my comp. i have 500w
purepower feeding the juice...
No overclocking done what so ever.
I have installed other games like Oblivion, Wow, HL2, BF2 and played these
for hours with extreme settings they work well and fast, no crashing, not
a single one.
