Random reboots
sunbeam replied to BadKarmaPT's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcHiThis may not help you but I recently had exactly the same issue. My system is an win XP SP2 on Asrock 880GM-LE mb, AMD Phenom 965 cpu, 4g ram and a Radeon 5770 graphics card. I was having issues in FSX corruption of the images on my 3 monitors after I had upgraded FTX Australia from SP3 to SP4. I then upgraded the CCC drivers to 11.2 and this did not help.Fortunately I always make images of my C drive, where I have the OS only, and restored an earlier version of the OS. I have not had the problem since. I was dreading going through the hw route of trying to work out if it was a PSU, GPU. MB or whatever.Hope you can figure it out

Spanning view over 3 monitors - advice needed
I looked into the TH2GO but at this stage having just built the system did not want to spend more. One option would be to run Win 7 as a dual boot and then get an Eyefinity setup. But I was really hoping that I could configure the side views to "line up" IE at least have the horizon the same in all views. I do not have your wealth of experience but do have several hundred hours in sailplanes with a fair proportion as instructor and really want to simulate the experience on FSX - hence the 3 monitors.

Do I need to upgrade to SP1
Thanks for all the responsesI always install programs to dedicated directories, in this case drive I, which will only be for games etc. Do not like to clutter up my C drive. I also ran FSX first a few times and then installed the Acceleration pack so all seems to be working OK now.I will have some more questions re configuring shortlymel

Do I need to upgrade to SP1
I am new here having just got FSX and as I have a couple of questions I will start separate threads for each one which I hope is OK.I have the Gold Edition with the Acceleration pack but don't know if I need to download and install SP1 (or SP2?). The version number of my FSX is 10.00 and Build 60905.00My system is Asrock 880GM-LE motherboard with inbuilt ATI 4250 graphics, a Radeon 5670 512Mb graphics card, Phenom XII 965 4 core CPU, 4Gb ram (but only 3.3Gb seen by the OS) and a Seagate 1Tb Barracuda HDD and running XP Pro SP2.Thanks

Spanning view over 3 monitors - advice needed
I am new here having just got FSX and having a couple of questions so will start separate threads for each one which I hope is OK.I have 3 x 22” monitors, Dell 2209WA that run at 1680 x 1050. The max resolution I can get with each one under settings is 1680 x 1050. I would like to be able to span a single cockpit view over the 3 monitors. I know I can have separate views and drag them over to another monitor but this is not what I want. Is there any way to do this, I won’t be upgrading to Win 7 so cannot use Eyefinity. Are there any 3rd party solutions to this besides the Matrox TH2GO - it is a lot of money and I believe limited in the resolutions it can doMy system is Asrock 880GM-LE motherboard with inbuilt ATI 4250 graphics, a Radeon 5670 512Mb graphics card, Phenom XII 965 4 core CPU, 4Gb ram (but only 3.3 seen by the OS) and a Seagate 1Tb Barracuda HDD and running XP Pro SP2Thanks
