Hello everyone, i believe this is my first time posting on the forums here. Like i mentioned in the title, whenever i open FSX and select the NGX in the aircraft selection screen, it selects it, makes me hit "run" and "yes" to load it, then FSX crashes and a split second later, i get the blue screen of death. Its becoming very annoying and im very confused.

 

A bit of history: i recently had a trojan, quarantined and removed it myself. Hoping it didnt cause any damage to my computer. Before the trojan my NGX and FSX worked perfectly. After i got rid of it, like nowadays, i still can play FSX, fly the LDS 767, even the PMDG 747x, and all my other payware addons. I dont have any freeware because i have had issues with them in the past, and the FSX i currently have that the NGX is crashing on, is new and clean without any old freeware files. I did do a clean re install of the NGX, even had to pay the 5 bucks for the re download, kinda sucked but my fault i guess. I HAVE NOT done a re install of FSX because i lost my box, and im not willing to order a new copy of the pilot shop unless you guys can tell me thats the problem

 

 

I got myself the VRinsight CDU II and boeing MCP for christmas and im going nuts because the NGX is flipping out on me!!!

 

Whatever assistance you guys can provide for me is very much appreciated!

 

Sincerely,

 

Chris Kennedy

 

P.S if im making any mistakes in terms of posting rules and such, please let me know and i apologize in advance.

Chris,

 

 

Sounds like you may need to do a Clean Re Install on FSX as you said you already did one for the NGX.

If all your problems started after that trojan, i think you should reinstall windows. Do you have some restore points? Your PC configuration will be useful to, maybe you have just unstable overclock for example...

Anyway, if you want to avoid this situation in the future, get some really good backup program. I use Acronis True Image, and it's awesome. I don't lose my time anymore doing troubleshooting, reinstaling, tweaking etc. If something go wrong, in max 1/2h i get my fsx(or entire system)back to the last stable version.

Sorry, i can't say more about your specific problem becouse there are to many possibilities

Blue screens of death are normally hardware related, the exception being of course a viral infection. Run the NGX installer again and select repair to see if that solves the problem. As mentioned, there are many possibilities but since you can run FSX and PMDG 747 but not the NGX the focus turns to that product; and most possiblities would result in a CTD rather that BSD. Open a trouble ticket with support, maybe they have had a similar reported problem or at least they will have some rock solid suggestions. Good luck.

wow fast replies, thanks a bunch guys!!!

 

Anyways, to be honest, i really have nothing on my PC except flight sim, so im willing to completely re install windows, and hopefully i can manage to wipe my hard drive, and get a fresh start.

 

Ill also consider just ordering a new copy of FSX. If anyone has any other ideas be sure to post them , im open to all feedback and assistance.

 

Thanks again,

Don't BSODs show a statement about what caused the problem? It's been so long since I had one, I can't quite remember.

Here you can find BSOD codes and meaning: http://www.overclock.net/a/common-bsod-error-code-list-for-overclocking

Yes, if you're quick enough, you can catch the .dll or offending file before the PC restarts.

In Windows , you can uncheck the option to restart automatically after a System Failure.
