| | FS-X Hard Crash MS Flight Simulator X with the FS-X-SP1 patch and the Acceleration pack on top running on Vista Ultimate and a eVGA 8800GT-512MB card with the latest official 169.25 Nvidia drivers installed after about 1 hour the entire machine locked up, dark screen total freeze. Had to Hard reset. There is nothing in any of the Vista Event logs to be found. How is this possible????? Suffice to say this machine is absolutely stable hardware-wise ..... |

| | Re: FS-X Hard Crash That sounds like a hardware overtemp issue. Temp probes on the CPU and video card may shed a bit of light if this is the case.

| | Re: FS-X Hard Crash i agree it maybe an overheated graphics card problem. i bought a leadtek 8800gt and it got upto 85c playing COD4. apparently the bios runs the fan at a constant 29%. although these cards are supposed to be stable to 100c+. i did download the latest bios, but the flashing software that came with it will not install it says it's not compatable with vista, how stupid is that to sell a dx10 card with software that don't work with vista. anyway i put rivatuner on and set the fan to 50%, it pulled the temps down by at least 10c. i may try to flash the bios when i find a good way to do it,but it's ok for now -- MIC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MIC's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=39365 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=893611 http://forums.techarena.in |

| | Re: FS-X Hard Crash Have just completed a 4 hr session and fingers crossed it seems that the new 8800GT bios has solved the crash problem... GPU temp 74C and GPU ambient 60C right after the session.
