Artefacts and FSX crash after 1 hour running

[Fernand]

Hello,

 

I've had just 2 tries with the new Accu Sim Comanche 25 (excellent) and after an hour or so I get artefact of the plane on white screen and FSX crashes. My config M.B Asus P8H61.USB3, I5 2400 3,1 GHZ, 8 GO RAM and Graphic card NVIDIA GTX Geforce 550 TI 1 GO memory. The settings as as recommended by the manual, here is the cfg file :

is there a solution ?

Overheating of GPU or CPU. That's what I guess.

Thanks for your reply, I have recently changed the thermal grease between the CPU and the Mother Card. I have an alerter tool and data recorder in case the CPU overheats 71° Celsius and it has not recorded any overheating. My GPU is Gigabyte trade mark buit and has 2 fans, the specifications say it can go up to 100° Celsius max. Although my computer is over 3 years old I doubt that it is an overheating problem but may be you know a way to test the GPU ?

 

Best regards,

[spirit_66]

With the nice GPU-Z freeware tool one can check many sensors of the GPU including the temperature. I wouldn't recommend to run it on 100 degrees Celsius. With the EVGA Precision X freeware tool one can adjust the fan speed and also lock the GPU to a certain temperature. I lock it at 69 degrees Celsius. You can google for the tools where to download.

Maybe this helps

Thank you for the idea, it made me remember that I have NVIDIA Inspector downloaded on my computer so I have been able to check the graphic card on one hour flight with the Accusim Comanche 250 : the GPU stays around 55° Celsius with peaks up to 64°, the load on the processor doesn't exceed 30% and the fan speed doesn't exceed 60%. So it seems that nothing is wrong with the Graphic card. FSX did not crash this time but it did blink (screen goes dark and bacx again) a few times. Let me know if you have any idea or hypothesis about the problem. Thanks for your support.

 

Best regards,

[spirit_66]

Well, I'm still suspicious that this has something to do with the GPU. May it be heat or another fault. You may check if the GPU is plugged well and by the way a question about your PU. Is it powerful enough for your equipment?

 

I always check the CPU temperature with the freeware tool "Real Temp". To be on the save side.

 

You can also do a stress test of your GPU with the nice unigine valley or heaven etc. https://unigine.com/products/valley/

I like the wonderful graphic too.

 

At least you should check your monitor if it's the culprit of your problem.

 

Good luck

My power unit is 530 watts (Be Quiet), I have checked my monitor (Acer X243W 24") it is OK and also I have multiboot on my computer, 2 Windows 7 and 2 FS , one with ORBX and the other one with GEX Europe and UTX Europe on which I have done a 2 hour flight with the new France VFR Aquitaine Nord add-on ( it is over 10 GO and not compatible with ORBX) and I did not have any problem of blinking or crash.

 

Best regards,

[spirit_66]

Well, no more ideas for that, sorry.

Spirit

[Fernand]

Thanks for your point of view about it, it is always a good thing to have another point of view to advance. Also maybe it is a problem with the NVIDIA driver, 2 drivers before this updated one I believe it was working better and if the problem continues I 'll put back the older driver. Anyway I am very please with ORBX (although some little problems at some places), it really is the best renewal and an artistic progress for simming with FSX and gives it a new life.

 

Best regards,
