Can anyone help me please

[Headwind]

I have started getting crashes within the past couple of months again. Since then I finally got frustrated enough not being able to find the problem I formatted. I am still getting the crashes without any addon's and I've tried with addon's with the same end result. I've looked all over the place for help so I thought I would try again here.

During a flight that might last 5 minutes or 30 minutes the sim just stops/freezes then the screen goes black. A window comes up and asks search for the problem and restart FSX or just restart FSX. I would say about half the time the DEP box comes up and says there was a problem but of course doesn't say what it was.

Detail on the window pop up :

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: fsx.exe
Application Version: 10.0.61637.0
Application Timestamp: 46fadb14
Fault Module Name: unknown
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
Exception Offset: 00f50935
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Data: 00000008
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
Additional information about the problem:
LCID: 1033


I've also tried to turn DEP off complete with using :

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

From cmd

Nothing seems to be helping out here. Is there anyone that can give me a little advice as to what might be the problem or what might be causing it please?


Thanks for any advice you can give on the matter.



Also this does not happen in any other program or game.

The only thing I can think of right off hand would be to try different drivers for your video card.

I'm using the 180.48 now but I've tried using the 169.44, 175.19, and 178.24 drivers. with the same result.

Might be heat related......

What are your CPU and GPU temps while flying?


But heat usually gives the blue screen,It can give the crash and black screen too....


Worth ruling out though first.....

Google threw this up...probably a ram problem

Looks like a RAM Problem.

I had a similar prob until I looked at the "Oooom" Prob.

Did the setting in the config and it also cured the CTD.

Hope this helps

Hmmm, wonder if that could be my problem too? I get the black screen running highly detailed aircraft, usually anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes into the flight, but never get any messages about program errors. It's happened in fs9 and LOMAC some too.. I never thought about a memory stick being bad. Have to test that tonight :isadizzy:

Now this is interesting. I wonder if I am having this issue also....

Can RAM wear out in under a year?

All of my sticks have cooling jackets on them, (4 gigs of DDR3).

Could you give a little more detail on the "Oooom" prob, and the setting in the config? I have regular CTD's, and would like to try something new.

Ram can die in a day for its own reasons..... Having heatsinks on them helps cool but will not save its butt.....LOL

The error codes point to lots of things, but I too now believe it to be ram related..


You can download and burn to disk Memtest,then launch off that disk and run Mem test...

[Headwind]

I burned the image of the memtest86 3.4 and my memory passes with no errors... Also I don't have anything overclocked at all... My bios is default...

[harleyman]

Hmmm...Have you ever gotten a OOM error? (Out Of Memory)


It does sorta sound like a mem leak somewhere.....

Is this a Vista machine? 64 bit?

Here is a link that may help...(depending on your OS)
