FSX Crashes every time - Replaced Graphics card

[mdexter 0]

HI guys,

 

Ok, Ran FSX on two 560 SOC GPU's, replaced them with one GTX 770 - Sweet card, latest drivers, changed the fsx.cfg setting for the new card and display etc ??

 

Guarantee FSX lasts no longer than 30 seconds in game and the fsx stopped working error, it will crash every time.

 

Ok guys anyone got any thoughts on this as I am totally hanging to play FSX with this new card but boy it will crash within 2-30 seconds

 

The Microsoft Flight SImulator has stopped working error.

 

Guys any thoughts on this one?

 

many thanks in adavance

Is your machine OC'd? Did you try to run any load testing tools like Prime95 of Intel Burn Test? Did you test in other demanding games?

Delete your fsx.cfg and let fsx create a new one

You need to download AppCrashView - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/app_crash_view.html and copy and paste the crash results here for analysis.  Your video card may not be properly seated and latched to the MB.

Ok guys, this is bad, new fsx.cfg, appcrash says it fsx.exe

 

Its just a new graphics card, and no the GPU is not overclocked at all, its literally the only component that has changed

Without a crash report, nothing can be done to assist you.

App crash report may be helpful. How did you install the new driver for the card?

I really hope this is possible to fix, I have spent almost a year at least just getting planes and scenery correct :(

Microsoft Visual C++ is telling you that a program you have installed is providing illegal instructions.  When this happens it will show Exception Code 0xc000001d.  So something is not installed properly as the developer of the addon intended.

I had problems with FSX crashing after installing a new card, albeit a radeon 7750HD. I solved the problem by deleting my FSX.cfg file and letting FSX rebuild it - as already mentioned previously BUT I found the culprit to be the latest video card driver. I  had to roll back the drivers to two previous releases before it was stable enough not to cause the crash. I also turned off the auto update for the graphics driver. Latest doesn't necessarily mean the best.

 

Everything has worked fine for the last 50 hours of running FSX.

 

Hope this helps.

ok wow, I suspected the driver was the culprit because fsx has been perfectly stable, hardware change and crashes ever since, game would last 30 secs if I am lucky, ok I have used the last whql driver first this was the one I loaded with the new card, no good of course, then I loaded the latest beta driver no good.  There are two version in between the whql and the latest driver so I will download both of these and see how I go, thanks guys very very much, will keep you posted
