January 8, 20233 yr Apparently, MSFS is some super duper special software that taxes hardware unlike any other software. At least if you listen to some of the stuff being thrown around in this thread it is. I'm sure some of issues have been hardware (as is the case with every single other piece of software), but it's only the culprit for a few of the cases. Some of the cases are software (addons, etc.) and some of the cases are unsolved as of yet (where I'm at). "Hardware" is not the be-all end-all issue. James

I was a great example of having a new PC, about 1 1/2 years ago, that CTD on every flight. Many on this forum told me I had a hardware problem, so I and the company techs ran every kind of stress test there was, and zero problems. Then we ran MSFS, and CTD. Turned out it was GPU and PSU, they replaced both, and not one CTD in almost 2,000 flights.

Same situation: CTD nearly every flight and couldn't solve it for nearly 9 months. In my case 2 things happened that cured my issues: AMD released an updated chipset driver that solved known USB issues and I disabled XMP in my BIOS and configured my RAM manually.
