On my overclocked system, I kept experiencing random FSX crash-to-desktops. I didn't matter how long, what I was flying or where I was going-- the crashes were completely random. I checked all the usual suspects-- video drivers, bgl files, memory, add-ons, etc. I have tortured tested my system with Intels burn test and Prime 95-- both passing with no issues, so I was fully stumped. The crash dumps kept pointing to random modules so that was of no help. I also tried the uiautomationcore file-- and still the random forced exits.

 

So before pulling out what vanishing hair I have left, I bumped the vcore voltage on my system from 1.320 to 1.325 just in case (figured I would try everything at this point) Even with the uiautomation file removed, FSX now flies like a champ. I have run flights back and forth from intense areas like Seattle, Atlanta, DFW-- opening and closing the menu, changing views, anything and everything to try and torture it and it still plugs along. Whodathunk that such small change in boosting the voltage would fix it...

whats your specs???

whats your specs???

 

i7 3770k @ 4.5, Asus P8Z77 V Pro, 16 gb Patriot memory, SSD drive, Corsair H100 cooler and an Nvidia 660ti. I overclocked with the 1.325 vcore value, hyperthreading off, stock dram voltage, and most other settings on auto.

Tim Allen Was RIGHT!! MORE POWER!

 

 

 

 

So true. That's why perfecting an OC is so difficult. cheers jja
