Reboot problems with FS9
Posted: 10 Nov 2009, 17:44
I have an old P4 that I use for doing VA flights, recently its been giving me problems by rebooting as I have been starting my flights. Sometimes as I am just powering up the engines, once or twice as I was reaching my cruise altitude.
First thing I did was backup my flight sim directory, wiped the hard disk clean, installed a fresh copy of windows XP and restored FS, same problem.
This morning I replaced the old Radion 9200 video card with a gForce 6200, but the first flight I tested rebooted just as I was taking off.
This happens with both my copy of FS9 that has all my extra aircraft, modules and scenery in it, and the copy of FS9 I have that is installed clean out of the box.
Any suggestions as to what to try, I am now thinking the machine is good as dead.
