I hate it when these things happen.
I just loaded up FSX and encountered a video problem. After loading my flight I can maneuver for about 1 minute before my monitor goes blank. Actually the sim and sound freezes and the monitor turns into a single color.
Yesterday, all was fine. The last thing I did was install the latest patch for the Milviz P-38L. I've been on the internet, sending e-mails and printing documents without any problems. No indication of any problems in Windows Error Reporting or with Dxdiag.
I suspect it may be a hardware issue as nothing has changed on my computer. I had Dell install the card when I purchased the computer in 2013, so its 3 years old - a AMD Radeon HD 7870 to be precise. I haven't update drivers for a while since things were working quite well. I do run the AMD Catalyst Control Manager and software to tweak the card to run FSX.
Not sure where to go from here, so I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
