I was getting the Fatal Error after just a few minutes of flying when I used the Carenado 182T (G1000) or the Air Bus AXE. I have an I7-2600K with an ASUS motherboard. I have solved the Fatal Error problem by changing the way I over-clock.

 

I had set my BLCK/PCIE to 100 then adjust the Turbo Ratio. As long as I kept the ratio below 37 I would not get the fatal errors. The problem was I could only get the computer up to 3.7 GHZ. Since I run a five monitor system using the AMD HD6990 this is to low of a speed to give smooth flying.

 

I lowered the BLCK/PCIE 98 then started raising the Turbo Ratio slowly to increase the GHZ. I was able to raise the Turbo Ratio up to 48 which gave me an over-clock of 4.7 GHZ. Now I have smooth flying in all my airplane and no crashes.

 

I hope this helps somebody. I was getting a little frustrated with the Fatal Errors.

Thanks for posting!  I think a bad overclock is one of the main reasons for many of the crashes.  I have the ASUS MB with the i7-2600 and never had a hard time overclocking mine to 4.4GHz and higher.  I kept the BLCK/PCIE at 100.  My main issue turned out to be the memory frequency/timings/and voltages ASUS set up for me (with an Auto setting).  Then I read somewhere that ASUS boards sometimes have trouble reading the installed memory on the MB's so I manually set the Profile to X.M.P. and the frequency/timings/and voltage as shown in the XMP column of the CPU-Z utility under the SPD Tab.  I haven't had a problem since.  I did find issues occasionally setting my OC at 4.8 and higher and found it to be mostly stable at 4.4GHz.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going to need to ask lots of overclocking questions soon. Not to hijack the thread but does any serious overclock require the lowest possible ram latency? sooo high cost?

For a 'serious' overclock I would say yes.  NickN, in his guide on setting up fsx and tuning it, has some additional information regarding memory - http://www.simforums.com/forums/topic29041.html.  See the topic ABOUT ADDING MEMORY TO A SYSTEM.

Thanks for that link. I'm going to be broke. So far, with everything I want I'm up to AUD 3,500.00. Ah well. You get that.
