August 2, 20178 yr Approx. 20 mins into a flight my computer freezes. The only way to unfreeze computer is to reboot. I have app crash viewer and event log which show no crash. I have been monitoring computer with nividia inspector and task manager and everything is fine before freeze. I uninstalled all addon scenery that did not have dedicated installers for prepar3d v4 and still getting the freeze. I also uninstalled ultimate traffic live and active sky. The only scenery I was unable to install was newark airport scenery. (no uninstaller) I have pmdg 737 and 777 but have also got freezes with default aircraft. Before starting all over and doing a clean install does anyone have any ideas ? (very frustrating and time consuming trying to figure out issue) Thank-you (i7 6700k gtx1070)
August 3, 20178 yr Sounds more like a hardware related problem, not software. I would personally check your CPU and GPU temps while flying and make sure your not overheating. I'd also run memtest and make sure your memory is ok. I recently had a similar problem (Freezing only fixed with a hard reset & BSODs) and it ended up being a bad stick of ram. i9 10850K, RTX3080, MSFS. My avsim uploads Myflightsim.to uploads
August 3, 20178 yr I had the problem that my GPU crashed with my old PSU. P3D runs at almost 100% CPU load and 100% GPU load for me and my 550w PSU was not good enough it seems. Maybe the PSU could be an issue too. Or like @airplaneguru84 says, the usual suspects. CPU / GPU temps, RAM... Does it only happen when running P3D? What about other stuff? Benchmarks etc?
August 4, 20178 yr Author Did complete reinstall and am going to test one addon at a time. If continues i will do stress test /hardware. Thanks for the help.
August 4, 20178 yr I had the same problem on my computer and found out it was my overclock . I bumped it down from 4.6 to 4.4 and it worked fine . in fsx at. 4.6 I had no issues but I guess P3dv4 stresses more on the system. I have a 6700k.

August 4, 20178 yr Yeah, I found on my 6700K the sweetspot with HT on is 4.3 GHz, with HT off around 4.4-4.5. Everything more rises the temperatures and core voltages more then it should. When I run P3D with 4.2 GHz and I think 1.28V my PC is completely silent. :-)
