Since approx Christmas I have seldom been able to complete a flight without a CTD.

Attempted corrective actions include multiple reinstalls, flying right after a install with no add-ons, moving it to another drive, the list goes on.

I've lost track of the hours trouble shooting.

Something is wrong here and I doubt I'm the only one. Sorry i sunk as much money as I did into add-ons.

The only thing left is when my new CPU arrives (7950x3d) I'll be blowing everything off and doing a fresh Windows install.

 

That is very frustrating.  I hope the new cpu and mobo fixes things.

Good luck easy to understand it's time to depart until something major changes for you.  Hopefully other hardware besides your CPU is up to snuff as well.  Had you already done a reinstall of Windows and MSFS?  Sometimes that pathway is far more useful that trial and error troubleshooting.

 

 

After eliminating most common potential problems the only guess i have left is perhaps a Windows update might have caused some problems somewhere.

Honestly I'm just throwing darts at the wall at this point.

Manure happens.

So

so what changed for you at xmas ?, PC wise 

i mean , have you moved it , changed any hardware etc ?

After flying for years with nearly no CTDs (the very rare ones could be isolated being caused by certain addons) I keep getting CDTs after ~45-60 min into a flight as well during the last weeks. Windows reports "nvwgf2umx.dll" being the culprit, being no unknown in the field.

Might be the most recent Nvidia drivers. This is a brand-new machine, though, and I am not really amused. Not parking the sim at this point, but I'll have to investigate.

Kind regards, Michael

Michael, My CTD are usually after 45 minutes as well and usually on decent though at times it happens before reaching cruising altitude. I totally understand your lack of amusement at the situation.

Sonny, As to hardware changes I recently upgraded my almost 5 year old GPU (2080 8gig) to to a 7900xt (20gig). I have been wondering if that might be tied in somehow but after researching I have not yet come across a comment linking it to CTD. Actually, other than the MSFS issue the performance of this GPU is excellent.

There's no problem with P3dV5 or XP11/12.

Do you have something recurrent in the Windows Event Viewer? Sometimes this might help.

Unfortunately, even in the official forum, there are very few reports linking CTSs, even with a certain faulting module, to a definite source.

Kind regards, Michael

One more option maybe. I you have Geforce Experience installed, try and remove it from you system. I recently hat CTD on basically every flight. Removing GE solved it. No CTDs since then.

 

Maybe worth a try.

What kind of PSU do you have?

Greetings, 1300w. Good quality.

If it was PSU, or heat, related it would be happening with P3Dv5 and Xplane too. Wonder if he's got the old Nvidia 2080 laying around and can swap that back in?

Did you change anything in the Virtual Memory settings? I had them set to 3072 MB (taken from an FSX guide), and I had CTD almost everytime. As soon as I changed it to System Managed, all CTDs disappeared. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Twenty6, no, it’s sold now. I was surprised how strong the market is for used hardware.

Luis, I haven’t changed those settings.

Thanks for the ideas.

So didn't have the CTD issue prior to changing out the GPU? Also, in your troubleshooting efforts did you ever format and reinstall Windows fresh?
