FREEZE of SYSTEM

[Viennaman 0]

Hi People,I was flying fine for a long time - recently i installed Frankfurt SCenery and the Level 767 Software. Since then, all programs - also the 744 is freezing after a while and i cant start the computer at all. I have to turn it down with the emergency button - otherwise i cant start the computer at all. Where could be the problem. The whole FS with the 744 was running fine for a long time.Thanks Marek from LOWW

Hi Marek,Couple things you want to check:Your system could be overheating - make sure the case is properly ventilated and that all the fans are turning. Running any game for an extended period creates a lot of heat in both the CPU and video card - if the cooling isn't working properly or at full efficiency, you can get overheats...The other possibility is a RAM issue - I'd recommend downloading a copy of MemTest86 and running it overnight - if there's no failures in that time period, the RAM is probably fine.Also make sure you're using up to date drivers for your motherboard and video card and that you don't have any spyware or other malware interfering with your system...
