So after the formatting of my PC, I am only getting the below CTDs. d3d11.dl seems to be the issue now and I have no clue what could cause this.

You have to finish the troubleshooting steps, what would generally cause that, well generally it's a HW issue as we noted (since you already reinstalled), but you cannot tell from looking at that error as to what caused it. It's too involved to track it down, you can run tracing apps and get more detailed info possibly, but it's not worth it. You need to just do a general troubleshooting to eliminate and isolate the other causes as has already been outlined in the thread.

Note: There are multiple paths you can take, but I would take the easiest path which is probably installing the GamePass version next, or you can skip it and assume faulty HW (up to you really).

If you really want to dig deep into a rabbit hole, here is yet another place for you to look:

Don't say i didn't warn you...

 

@Alpine Scenery My BIOS is default and NO high temps. And my PSU is 650W which is more than enough. Why can I run a bunch of other games with NO issues and MSFS 2020 can't work right. Heck even Cyberpunk works great! 

@Clem116  Try using MSFS with just your KB and mouse to rule out if your controller is possibly the issue.

Have you disabled all AI traffic?  set all sliders for AI ground, cars, boats, airport crew to 0 (off)

Once you get rid of addons and controllers and uninstall controller software the only unusual thing about MSFS compared to most other games is it is very CPU intensive on a single core.

TBH though this is not an issue that is likely to be solved by random forum posts, I assume you have contacted MS support?.

Yes and to be honest they are pretty useless....

Just got another CTD.

yeah ... support for any company tends to be, they usually do not pay them enough to get anyone competent

 

there is an old joke about MS Support that has been around at least 20 years or more:

 

Quote

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an
electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic
navigation and communication equipment. Due to the clouds and haze
the pilot could not determine his position or course to steer to the
airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew
a handwritten sign and held it in the helicopter's window. The sign
said "WHERE AM I ?" in large letters.

People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a
large sign and held it in a building window. Their sign said, "YOU
ARE IN A HELICOPTER." The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map and
determine the course to steer to SEATAC (Seattle/Tacoma) airport and
landed safely.

After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the
"YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position. The
pilot responded, "I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building
because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless
answer.

Please try the tip from Brandon:

I would also try to play the game at max lowered settings, disable as much as possible.

That`s not true, you forgot that it is a software bug possibly occuring on some systems or configuration. Just read the newest thread, he is not the only one frustrated:

I just had the 0XC0..5 error today, but it was on purpose and not in FS2020. I do very basic Windows programming and I received the error because I deleted an object in RAM that was later accessed and not found. I did it because I get a stack overflow error on a standard recursive running Windows function.

Other than that, I highly doubt it is an hardware error, especially when other games run without problems.

If it's only happening in MSFS, then your logical next step is to try the Gamepass version, not sure how many times to say it. I also agree to disconnect other devices just because it's simple to do, but since the fatal exception is in D3D, it's highly unlikely to be USB related or connection related. 90% of the time fatal exceptions in D3D is either a driver problem, problem with the OS or game (which you already ruled out by reinstalling), a HW setting / BIOS, or a bad component.

It can be USB or triggered by another device, but it's unlikely as that doesn't generally have anything to do with D3D calls. BTW, I've been doing this stuff since the 1990's.

That said, your power supply is very very borderline. Not saying it is your P/S. but 650 watts with a 1080 and an i9900 and multiple drives and you OC'd, it depends on the quality and brand of the P/S. So many P/S have fake ratings. 750 watts would generally be the minimum safe if you were going any brand, if it's high-end PS brand, maybe 650 is enough, but still borderline. I've seen problems before with 600-650 watt power supplies and your configuration, it's usually enough but it's too close. You should have 750 minimum due to QC variance and other reasons.

If the CPU load is higher on FS 2020 than your other games, then the power draw will be higher, and the P/S will actually cause a voltage anomaly which can cause it. Your USB ports also draw a bit of extra power, and it all adds up.

Just got another CTD. 

We have pretty similar systems. I was experiencing CTD's back in November, so I went back to stock CPU settings and switched from XMP2 to XMP1, From then on, the CTD's seems to go away until last week. I'd say I've done 15 flights over the past 30 days, and of those 15, I completed 13 without incident with 2 CTD's in the last 7 days. Aside from that, I'm warming up to the sim and the FBWA320. 

I know you have rolled back your OC, but I didn't catch how your memory is currently configured. I just think this sim isn't very forgiving, and it will exploit any weakness in your system.

The biggest difference in our systems is our power supplies. I have no clue on the best way to trouble shoot power issues. I typically just buy the biggest/baddest PSU for the price that I is available at the time. PC Part Picker shows an estimated wattage of around 500for my system, so if I have double, I can sleep at night even if it is overkill. 

Out of curiosity, do peripherals use a lot of power? Like many, I don't have a free USB slot.

Yes, this is a good point. He needs to make sure absolutely nothing is OC'd, not even the memory. 
He should also underclock the memory and video card as a last resort, to see if that helps.

Beyond that, we told him what to do already, so I'm out of here, already told him how to diagnose it.

I am saying what is most likely given his description, since the way he describes the error does not appear to be software given he did a fresh install of Windows and the CTD happened so fast in a fresh copy. CTD's aren't likely to happen like that at such fast random intervals on a fresh install with a vanilla config, that would be unusual.

It appears to be a bad HW setting or bad component, but until he runs through the other troubleshooting steps, not much use in guessing to be honest. If i had to guess, i'd say P/S, bad HW setting / config, memory config or bad, or video card issue. I wouldn't guess software, but I'm not there so I cannot see it. If i was there, i'd know in less than 20 minutes what it was. I also would have already tried the gamepass version, among other things...

There are 0 reasons that the gamepass version would behave differently from the Steam version.  The only difference is in the installer.

I've never seen someone so full of themselves.

I'm sure a lot of us would, yes I would. Have run 1000's of computers back to the 1980's to 90's. There are reasons it could vary and in this stuff you can never think of every possible variable. Was responsible for many many servers, not full of myself, just experienced. I am also a programmer.

What installing the Gamepass version does is eliminate a potential installer or steam issue that could be repeating itself from a Windows version or update conflict. That is just one possibility. I am not saying it's LIKELY, but it's simple to try to further solidify the chances that is hardware and not some odd FS 2020 issue.

You are quick to challenge and insult, but you haven't the faintest clue what you are talking about.
