HELP- Simulation freezes - HELP

02/12/2003 - 16:27 por Eagle | Informe spam
Hi there:

I am experiencing the same problem over and over again:

After flying for a while my flightsim suddenly freezes and there is
nothing that can be done anymore. It hangs up completely, no reaction
on keys, joystick or whatever... just nothing. The only way out is a
hard reset (just like turning off the PC) and run all the way up from
"nada".
I have no clue on what the problem could be. Any help greatly
appreciated.

Some data:

FS2004 on

CPU: PIII 750 MHz
RAM: 512MB
Video: Nvidia TNT2 M64, 32MB
HDD: 20 Gigs

Well, just the normal, aging PC :-)

Sounds like your video card is overheating. If it were the main processor
overheating, it would (should) trip POWER_GOOD and just restart the whole
machine.

Add a cooling fan to the video card if it doesn't already have one or find a
way to get some air blowing across the card.

I will 2nd thisI had freezing in FS9 when I had been flying a couple
of minutes.was ok if I was just sat on the tarmac, but the constant
updating of the screen needed for flying caused the GPU on my Geforce 4200ti
to get too hot. One new fan fitted later everything is ok!

I also had this problem, and overheating was only part of the problem. First
I got a new, more power, video card, which helped some but didn't solve the
problem. Better air circulation from another fan (and opened case) helped
some more, but my system would still crash after a short time of flying. It
seems that FS9, and it's real-time weather, also uses a lot of power. I
ended up getting a new power supply for my PC (I went from 200w to 420w).
Finally I could fly again.

Hope this helps.
