December 19, 20241 yr I had a problem where I would lose my internet connectivity when using P3Dv6. I went through a step-by-step troubleshooting procedure where I disabled addons and such one by one to see if the problem went away. Finally, I started turning off or lowering settings and eventually discovered that using any of the temporal anti-aliasing graphics settings caused this issue. Now I use 8X MSAA and everything is fine. So the settings can indeed cause big problems, even with the pretty high end hardware that I have.

I think the sound you heard indicates this, because in other cases, Prepar3D just ctd silently. That is the obvious one. But in my case, the over clocks have been working for the past 5/6 years. It is only now that they seem to have been causing problems. So I think it is more likely a sign of ageing hardware, rather than the settings per se. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM.

December 19, 20241 yr Maybe accumulated dust on your coolers? That's the only computer thing I can think of that may get worse with age. That or old thermal paste.

That's the only computer thing I can think of that may get worse with age. That or old thermal paste. Excactly. Hardware doesn't age that fast. Of course it gets outdated but the function remains mostly great over years. What accumulates is dust. A good case has dust filters and sometimes they get clogged. Also cooling fins accumulate dust. All of this makes the system, especially overclocked ones, overheat. As soon as it's to hot, the system crashes. So my advice check filters and fins for dust. I always use a small vacuum cleaner for the filters. The fins, I just blow it out and vacuum the dust coming out.
