I even removed and installed MSFS and all the same....I know MSFS is completely different than any other simulation/game but everything else i my computer works with no glitch. I also think it has something to do with NVidia, it all started when I got a note from MSFS to upgrade my Nvidia GPU, after I did it all started and if I take off the upgrade it tells me to upgrade again...

Ouch!! Can you run MSFS without doing the Nvidia upgrade, or does it stop the sim?

JSkorna Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I would go to Device Manager in Windows and under Display adapters, see what is active.

johnclift Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I have had exactly the same problem for 3 days now. It all started when Nvidia decided to update the G-Force Experience thing. Then I get a crash to desktop after 4 seconds of flight. Moaning about graphics card overheating and drivers and stuff. I updated my Nvidia (RTX 2080i) driver to the latest one. NO DICE. So I uninstalled all the other Nvidia stuff NO DICE. I have to run it, let it crash, then run it again in safe mode and it runs fine. But that means it takes ages to actually get to fly ! Don't know what to do next. It has run fine until now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberdog1 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Same problem, I have the RTX3070ti with 12gb vram. Open the GeForce Experience app, hover over the MSFS app and select details. select optimize. it'll take of the rest for your vcard then launch MSFS. When its on the main menu page close out to the desk top and restart MSFS and take a flight. Hope this helps you... Happy Flyin AD Sends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiloWatt Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I've had this issue intermittendly with a number of nVidia graphics cards (770, 970, and 1660). I've been using an AMD one for a month or two and haven't had it happen, but it's not been that long so it might still; I'm certainly not saying it AMD is immune. Scratch that. I just remembered an instance where it happened on the RX5700. I was applying a wicked overclock on it, though, so easily explainable. Anyway, I would uninstall the drivers with DDU and install the last version that worked well.

Markg55 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 How old is the Video card? I have a 2060 super in one of my rigs that is only 3 years old. It started giving me overheating issues. I am not sure if this happened to me after a driver update or not though.I took it out and open it it up and found the Thermal paste dried up and the thermal pads brittle. Cleaned with Isopropnol alcohol using cotton swabs and re-appled pads and paste. Point of caution though, the wiring for the fans are short and should be opened gently like a book. I noticed my GPU temps went way down. There are many videos on how to do this on youtube. I hope this helps and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed your instructions to the letter, and I gave it time, I didn't rush anything. I have a HD indicator light which tells me when the PC is "doing something" and I waited until it had done what it had to do. When I selected MSFS it already had a tick box in optimisation. It said it was already optimised. I came out of MSFS like you said. I even restarted the machine. But when running the program again, it only lasted 1 minute.

johnclift Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 This can't be a driver problem can it ? I have been using RTX2080i driver 522.25 for 5 months with no problems. Ah maybe the NEW driver Nvidia installed might be the problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nvidia and other vendors aren't always thoughtful about users with older cards when releasing new drivers. Like the others said, uninstall the current drivers using DDU and install the last drivers that still worked. It's not an exact science... Jan Intel i7 9700K @ 5.4 GHz, be quiet!
