October 1, 200619 yr Hello, I have a major problem with FS2004, I can set my flight up as normal and go into the game itself, the game runs fine for about 10 to 15 mins then the problem happens, FS2004 kicks me out and back to the desktop or the game freezes up and I have to reboot my system. I have just upgraded my system to AMD Athlon X2 4800+ with a ATi Radeon x550. I don't know if this is the problem or not, I also have a Audigy 2 ZS soundcard which I have had for a while, I have also tried the FSX demo which has the same problem after you land at St Martin at the end of the demo it crashes. Any help would be much appreciated. :)
October 1, 200619 yr A 450w isnt alot, however should suffice for that system since the GPU isnt demanding.. how are your CPU temps under load and have you ran memtest to check for memory stability?. Also do you have any other services running in the background while using FS? What also could be the case is a memory leak in FS itselfs like landclass errors etc..you can use RanaInside FlightSim Manager to check/scan for errors.
October 2, 200619 yr Place your cursor the bottom right on the task bar (where the time is displayed) and right mourse click and select "Task manager". Then select the "performance" tab and leep a wath on the "PF Usage".What does it read the first 10 min of your flight? and then what does it read a few min before you think its going to crash. IS there a big difference? if it is, then its a memory leak for sure. Its either a payware/freeware that you may have added. Start removing one by one and check it again. and see which one is the offending one.But it you are having the problem in the FSX demo and FS9..Then memory leak may not be the issue at all.

October 2, 200619 yr Manny's answer doesn't normally hold true for a freeze and immeddiate retuirn to desktop. Almost all memory leaks generate an error message, even if they may not be the obvious ones. For a no-message problem, you nearly always have to look to hardware or basisc software faults, or overheating.Allcott
