Help!

[DistrotSimmer]

I wouldnt say I have a tweak but maybe a disadvantage. Recently My fsx has been freezing or restarting my entire pc. I can sit on the rwy or taxi for as along as I want, but as soon as I fly it ethier restarts my pc or freezes it which makes me restart it. CTRL+ALT+DLT can't even unlock it. Anyone else had this issue? I just went out and bout a $150 512mb video card and cant even enjoy it. Many have had the same issue!



thanks

Hardware causes: Lack of power, overheating.

Software causes: Bad drivers.


Hard to determine.

Can you state your basic specs?
What processor do you have?
What motherboard?
What power supply and wattage?
How much RAM?
Which O/S - Xp or Vista? 32 or 64 bit?
Maybe the Vidcard is too much for your other components...
Are you using onboard sound or a soundcard?
