Hello everyone, A new member with a very first post!I’m a FS newbie and not an expert with computers. So in the following story you might find it a bit funny or off the topic, tho it still relates to this thread. I used to be able to run FSX just fine on high settings until I purchased and installed the new PMDG 737 NGX. I followed 737 NGX install instructions and their video settings. I could still run on high setting but I had so much lag, and the FPS was getting bad (But 737 NGX looked amazing)! So playing on medium settings worked fine (Performance Wise) but then I didn't like the way that 737 NGX looked in Virtual Cockpit! All the buttons/switches were blurry and it just didn’t look pretty like before. I then tried nVidia's Inspector (Ver1.9.5.5.) and followed each step from the first page of this thread and something scary happen... After applying those settings I’ve done in the inspector I ran FSX (in DX9 & Medium-High settings) and it loaded fine but 5 seconds after my PC resets, and I'm thinking "Ah no, it's probably the changes I made to my video card with Inspector and now I'll have to get the new drivers..." but as I'm thinking this, I see (and could smell as well) a big cloud of smoke coming out my PC! It was so much smoke that almost set the fire alarm off and I had to walk out for some fresh air.I thought that everything melted inside but when I opened my PC case, I could not see any damage. I removed my video card and power supply and still couldn’t find anything that looked burnt. I'm still not sure if it's the power supply or the video card because the video card has a plastic cover over it and the power supply is in a big metal box.I have no idea what has caused this to happen, and what wrong have I done. I guess my PC was getting old and couldn’t work hard enough to run FSX with NGX installed, or didn’t like the inspector or my GTX 260 was just too weak for this experiment. Do you think this program could really cause this to happen or it could be something else? How do I know what burnt inside my computer?I wouldn’t plug it back into the power, I’m a bit scared to try. My PC was a bit old so I didn’t panic much except I am only worried about data on my HDD. Here is what my burnt PC spec was: Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3LCPU: Intel Q6600 2.40 GHzRAM: 4GB (2 x 2GB) G.Skill 1066GPU: MSI N260GTX SeriesPSU: CORSAIR TX850WMONITOR: LG FLATRON W2353V-PF. Resolution 1920 × 1200Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition + ACCELERATION Expansion Pack. At least I have a laptop and that will do me until I get a new PC. The only bad thing about the laptop is that it wouldn’t even run standard FSX. Thanks & Regards, Dusan.
Hey Zeljko, I know what you're saying, I find it hard to believe that these settings could have done this to my video card.Everyone here is happy with the results and very thankful, and I believe those settings do (and can) work. I will PM you, I'm soon getting a new system. Thanks a lot for this!Cheers, Dusan
