Stability Issues

[Ruzzo 59]

FSX has froze on me twice today, once with no reason why and then a Blue Screen with something about memory came up.

 

I've run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool and all was fine. Could this be a overheating issue or something to do with my RAM voltages?

 

Thanks,

Time to get the vacuum cleaner out Paul ?

Which reminds me, I must clean out my machine too

Don't know if you have tried CoreTemp but it a brilliant small program..

You will be able to see your temperatures from start to finish if you run it on start-up always.. 

 

PS It's free..

Paul,

 

Have you modified your fsx.cfg file with HIGHMEMFIX=1 under the [GRAPHICS] section?

 

If not, this also fixes graphics / memory problems.

 

Cheers

It could still be memory issues. Download memtest86 and load it on to a USB stick. Then boot your machine from the USB and run the software. It checks the memory without involving windows. I suffered something similar last month and me test correctly diagnosed a damaged 8gb module. A quick return from corsair and I'm back to full memory. .

Best wishes,

Yes, I have modified my .cfg file and still have these issues.

I'll have a crack at your idea, Jess. 

 

Thanks!

No probs Paul. Anything for a fellow valley's dweller.
