My FSX has started to hang recently and needed to be forceably shut down. I looked at the event viewer log, but couldn't spot anything obvious. Last time it happened I was using Chrome to download an approach chart.

Here's the log, can anyone see a possible cause from it?

Thanks

Eugene

Download and run AppCrashView - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/app_crash_view.html and copy the error reporting in the lower pane and paste the information here.  If there are no crash reports, let us know.   FSX froze at memory address f7fc.  Your report does not provide sufficient information but preliminarily I would say you have a bad tweak in your Fsx.cfg, too high settings in  your Fsx.cfg or display driver settings.  Most likely a bad tweak.  Many of these types of crashes can be resolved by renaming your Fsx.cfg to fsx.orig, restarting FSX and letting the config rebuild.  Once completed.  See if the crashes continue.  If so, you can go back and rename your fsx.orig back to fsx.cfg and investigate elsewhere.

 

These types of incidents should be reported in the AVSIM CTD Forum so I'm moving your post there.

 

Best regards,

Jim
