Random reboots
sunbeam replied to BadKarmaPT's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
HiThis 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
sunbeam replied to sunbeam's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
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. -
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

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

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
