I'm having an unexpected problem with FSX on an SSD. The full machine specs are below, but the problem is that FSX will pause for several minutes (up to 8 min so far) and then resume. After 2 or 3 pauses at the next pause it CTDs. Using Process Explorer, there is no I/O at all from FSX, and there are 68-73 threads running or waiting to run. Active threads are all in a Wait stateThis happens with default aircraft and scenery, with REX, all PMDG a/c, and FSUIPC running. Only FSX-related software is on the SSD. It's an older 64 GB Kingston SNV425-S2 "desktop bundle" (circa 2009) but not used until Oct. 2011. I'm running W7 64 bit Home Premium on a WD Caviar 1TB 7200 RPM, as system drive and data drive. I've confirmed that TRIM support is turned on.I should add that I ran the OS off the SSD, with FSX on the hard disk, for about 2 weeks, with TRIM turned on. There was no noticeable problem.I don't know what the controller is on the Kingston SSD, but I suspect what's happening is garbage collection. What triggers it is clicking on a menu or a DU; or pressing any keyboard key.I have deleted the FSX.CFG file and allowed FSX to re-create it (several times). The only edits I add are HIGHMEMFIX=1 and those required by REX.So, I'm at a loss. There is no firmware update for this model of SSD on the Kingston web site. Should I replace the SSD? Is there a way to suppress/delay garbage collection? In the Elder Days on LISP machines there was a way to control when GC occurred.Thanks in advance,dan "lensman" davisonSystem: Antec 900 case, 850W XFX PSU, Radeon 6950 2GB GDDR5, Asus P8X58-V-Pro mobo, 8GB Crucial dual-channel memory, CPU i7-2600K@3.4 GHz,
