No system overload. Brand new graphics card and my temps and RAM are just fine. For grins and giggles, I did put back in the original graphics card to eliminte that as the cause. Still had the same problem. This is a brand new computer, clean install of the OS and FS9. I also tested with an older version of Active Sky I had. No issue with the older version, no issue using the FS9 weather engine. I will reinstall Active Sky Evolution and see what happens.
Going to post there as well and see what they say.
