Hello everybody, I have had two occasions flying in the same area interestingly where the computer just restarts for no apparent reason.Has anyone else had this problem before?

Robert,if you were flying near an airport with winter textures this has been know to happen due to an FS9 'bug'. I'm assuming you're using FS9. Search the main FS forum for CTD issues.

Robert,In addition to Pete's suggestions, If you computer is actually rebooting itself and not Crashing to Desktop, You are most likely experiencing one of two things1) Inadequate Power supply, System will crash due to the heavy CPU and Graphic requirements for the PMDG 737 and FS9 overloading the Power supply.2) Inadequate Case or CPU Cooling causing the system to reboot to protect your CPU from turning into a molten glob. You will need to provide some system specs and FS settings to get much farther in trying to nail down your problem.RegardsPaul Gollnick :-cool Technical Operations/Customer Operational SupportPrecision Manuals Development Groupwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg

What graphic card are you running, because some ATI

Hi,Another reason for shutdowns without reasons could be that your mo/bo supports preemptive shutdowns if the board senses a too high temperature on either CPU or north bridge. I know I had that problem when over clocking my mo/bo. See specs in sig.Hope you solve it,

Hi there,That is a very interesting thing to hear about. I have never heard this issue before (though never searched for it), but did not think that this is the cause of my problems as well. A BUG. I work till 6 PM, get home by 7, and if I'm lucky and have some spare time, I get into the PMDG cockpit by 7:30 PM. Considering aircraft initialization, FMC programming, and so forth by the time my 737 rotates it's after 8:00 PM. Now you do not want to fly a trip more than 2 hours long at this time, because you have to go to work tomorrow. Imagine just before reaching T/D MS WXP tells me that FS9 has caused an error and needs to close, and if I were in the middle of something, my data may have been lost, sorry for the inconvenience. This is at 9:30, a full evening wasted, no time to restart, more like a pain in the butt. I have more than 1.500 USD worth of hardware and software installed, paid for every single screw and bit, and then what makes my evening a piece of crap is aBUG.Sorry for being this long, I felt I had to write it out.Bests to everyone. Cheers,Balint Nagy

Sorry I forgot the graphics card is a ATI radeon 9600 pro (128 ddr,tv-out/dvi/agp8x}
