Strange Whiteout Issue Photos Attached

Featured Replies

Hi everyone 

 

Hoping some of you can help me with an issue i'm having 

just recently started happening 

 

first off my system 

 

DX10 With steves fixer 

FSX MS 

ASN

EFB 

PRO ATC

FTX GLOBAL 

UTX 

 

the machine is a new rebuild 

4790K OC 4.6 ( Stable )

32GB Ram 1800mhz 

GTX 980 4 gb Driver Version 347.09 

 

My issue is this 

when im panning around the cockpit ( PMDG NGX 800 ) and i look in a particular spot, the screen whites out.... see photos

Then at any given random time i get the black out screen 

my mouse still works and sounds still continue to play, im in full screen so if i Alt Enter out it will minimize and my desktop will not refresh.... i can move the FSX window around and refresh the desktop with the window. 

basically i'm stuck with a black out 

 

i've did some searches on here and seen a few people have the same issue 

its very strange 

 

Any ideas 

Thanks Everyone

Does the whiteout issue happen when looking towards the sun? There's a problem with some of the later Nvidia drivers. To fix it, run the Fixer, go to Other and select Hide sun glare... (available in Fixer 2.6).

If the option doesn't appear within Steve's fixer- go back to your FSS account and redownload the 2.6 version- he added it within the past few months to fix NVIDIA's new "effect"

great ill check that out, could this be what is causing the black outs as well????

 

now that i think about it it does seem to match the sun position.... i did think about that briefly 

 

ill report back 

 

 

also i've tried different cables from my video card and disabling ASN, EFB and PRO ATC, however i dont think any of those are the culprit 

 

Thanks

The new drivers have been problematic for both FSX and P3D2, I've rolled back to 337.88 and this got rid of all problems...

 Same here, 337.88 is as new as I can get without problems.

I experience issues too randomly using newer drivers. The video drivers stops responding, and then recovers. Eventually it gets to the point where the computer will boot, but won't operate the monitor.
