Airpipe Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 MY P.C. originally only had 8Gb ram but FS2020 loaded o.k., eventually, and worked fine but with some features missing as would be expected. I have now upgraded my RAM to 32Gb and FS works much better apart from the fact that the screen momentarily blanks every few seconds which has made the program unusable. Any advice appreciated.

Airpipe Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi Steve, My P.C. is HP Pavilion Intel iS-8400 2.80GHz Windows 10 64 bit. I am not a tech expert! There are no issues with other programs that I am aware of, INc. my mem. hungry video editor. FS has crashed a couple of times since I fitted the new ram. New Ram is two matching 16Gb Crucial memory cards. Regards, Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airpipe Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Also Steve, the problem is the same if I use the mouse/keyboard or Black Widow Joystick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxx Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) ... screen momentarily blanks every few seconds which has made the program unusable. Any advice appreciated. If the Ram Isn't running at the intended frequency or voltage it can cause tearing...take the ram out..re-seat it, go into the bios and chose the xmp profile of the ram. If that doesn't work remove one of the new sticks of RAM and see if the blanking occurs, and so on with the other new stick. You may have a bad stick. Other things to check in no particular order are: * Sometimes we dont get the cables reconnected all the way when re-assembling a box, so check your vid cable connections. * Sometimes we bump the video card when fiddling with something else inside. Check to be sure the video card is seated correctly. *Sometimes we guess :) Edited November 11, 2020 by Paxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
