FS2004 Screen blackouts

Featured Replies

This problem just started this morning. I started FS2004 created a flight in an airport with user defined weather but at the foot of the runway the screen blacked out and went back then FS9 froze, then went back to normal and blacked out again and the whole cycle repeats.... I tried changing airports but only the intervals were longer. Here is my computer specs:

Windows XP Pro SP2

Intel P4 1.6GHz

Nvidia GeForce FX5500 (latest drivers)

 

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Wow... that was my rig 5 years ago. I don't know how did I bear with this. Anyway, does this problem happen with an older driver? I understand that driver support for the FX5500 expired in 2008, I think the latest drivers for that GPU are the 175.19. What version do you have?

Ok, I seem to have found the problem. I think its my GPU since after the black out the scenery shows weird orange, red, violet squares and rectangles.
