Hi! Maybe somebody had these annoying failure.I start FS9 and everything goes perfect until a few minutes after takeoff. and sudenly my LCD turns black with a sign "No signal" and only with the sound of the fans at full speed.I think its something with the temp of the GPU or CPU. It does it only with FS9, so I

Heat is a possibility. When it goes black, does the computer reset, or just hangs forever?Easy way to find out...get RivaTuner(or any temp program really) and log temps of both graphics card and CPU. I'd say (on the conservative side) if both never go above 60, heat is def not a problem.I have a e8500 and 512mb 8800gts (both overclocked) and max temps under load are 55 and 61

Red, it hangs forever. I

Don't lower your color depth. There's literally no reason to do so. This hasn't been useful since the days of the Riva TNT, i.e. late 90's.

Do you mean I must mantain 32 bits and not 16?

Yes. Clean out your various fans and make sure the heatsinks to which they are affixed are not loose.

Well, I did all and now I think that it could be some corrupted file because I do not believe that FS9 is so graphic heavy that all my system can

Run a GPU stress test. Download OCCT and run the GPU stress test. If it passes your card is fine and the problem is specific to FS9. If it fails you have a faulty card.

Very good advice!! I

After running the test all results- great tester! - where ok except it made me update Directx and afterwards all test

I think I found the problem thanks to your help and a bit of luck.Dicarding a hardware problem after the "heavy" testing and that it only happened in FS9. Wich is the file that drives FS9 in a very important way? Fsuipc.dllSo I unistalled Fsuipc and reinstalled a clean one. Presto! Untill now no more blackouts.I did something wrong installing and unistalling some addon that corrupted fsuipc and I suspect it was Light Bloom and that my system could not hold it.I

Sorry folk

PerfNet error can be a performance monitoring problem. A service might not be starting when it should, so an error is registered. Probably doesn't mean anything and is not causing your problem.On the other hand, that error can be linked to DEP (Data Execution Prevention). Possible virus activity. Not very likely though.In your event viewer click on the links and if there is enough info, you will be taken to a Microsoft page with tips on what to do.Good luckBob

Well, nothing doing. I made an interesting test. I loaded in a old laptop a clean FS9 and place the same plane that crashed in the much more powerful PC.Hardly could get 6 fps but after a long flight I could land it with no problem. I get the conclusion, after "squezing" all the hardware elements with OCCT and DMark the hadrware did not have any problem and all run well.Conclusion: I must have a corrupted or missing file in FS9. I have a huge FS9 and just think all I have to do, makes me shiver. Lets look at the positive side, maybe it could be a good idea to clean up all the junk acummulated all these years.Do you people have a better idea?Thanks to all!!
