October 18, 200619 yr I have this little problem here with FSX. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.All I have to do is get in the Airbus or CRJ and climb up to about 25,000 feet or more. And when you are around 20 miles out from where you took off. Switch views using my joystick or by pressing the S key. It will work for a few times then it happens my screen go's black them my computer is restarting. The only way I can make this work is to switch views using my mouse by right clicking then chooseing the view I want. This skips the tower view and I have no problems. But its hard because I am have been using my joystick buttons to change views in FS9 and back when I flew fs2002. Anyways I have yet been able to fly over 40 miles with out this rebooting going on. But know I think I know how to stop it I just have to train myself not to change views by pressing the S key or via the joystick.So far I have done the tree tweak by Matt Fox that seems to work good. I don't have all my sliders maxed out but I do have alot turned up. And I get anywhere from 10 to 25FPS. My PC specs are.AMD Athlon 64 AM2 4600+MSI K9N Neo NForce 550 chipsetVideo card is an Evga Geforce 7600 GS PCI-E x16Memory is 2GB Patriot Dual Channel DDR2 800Mhz running in duel channel mode with a latency of 4-4-4-12.Hard drive is a WD 200GB 7200RPM SATA2Power supply is a coolmaster 550 Watt Thanks for any adviceRon
October 18, 200619 yr >How are your temperatures?!Ok just did a flight with the Maul no problems.And it was over 50 miles. I made sure I did not switch to tower view wile I was flying.I just got done flying rebooted and checked my CPU temp in the BIOS. It was reading 46C I dont know if that is high low or what?It may be a temp thing but it would seem if it was a problem with high temps. It would just reboot whenever. This rebooting was happing only when I was switching views.
October 18, 200619 yr Try updating your video drivers first. Random reboots like that are generally due to a fluctuating pc power supply or faulty memory module. I would also try backing out of those autogen tweeks that you said you had and see if it still does it. Another thing you might try is to back off on those memory timings. Those are pretty tight and patriot is not known for quality. I would go 5-5-5-12 just to test it and see if the reboots stop.
