He everyone.I just got my new system and it is all good but... as soon as I take off from EGLL or KJFK, the system spits me out and tells me a "fatal error" has occurred. I'll say. Killing all 450 soouls onboard my PMDG 747-400 is certainly a fatal error!!I have been running FSX for a few years without any problem. I am now using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit as an OS which is the only change I have made to up grade to a FS specific PC. Windows itself is not shutting down, just FSX.Any thoughts?More than a little frustrating after dropping over 4K on this system.Thanks in advance.David Bell

This is a common CTD in FSX. Check over in the Crash to Desktop Forum for a possible solution as your scenario is very familiar. Whenever you get a fatal error, you need to take a look at the Event Viewer and see what module or .dll caused the crash. An "event" is created whenever you have a fatal error (most of the time). Look for an event that occurred around the same time of your crash. It could be caused by overclocking, turning your fsx sliders too high putting too much on system resources, or a variety of other reasons. To help you, we need to know what the Event Viewer said. A bit more info on your system specs would be nice too.Best regards,Jim

I have a high end system and I was getting occasional crashes, sometimes around take off. I traced it to the Bojote Bufferpools Usepools=0 change. I put it back to the default Usepools=1 and the crashes went away. He has extensive comments about that in his pinned post.Lee
