It just so happens that I just posted this link in another thread. http://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a108/vas-management-stopping-out-of-memory-oom-errors.aspx

Just read that myself, lowered some settings, nothing was maxed out in the first place, but lowered some texture/scenery sliders and limited my fps to 30 from unlimited.

Trying the same flight now and will see what happens.

So I bought FSX steam...

Test flight, with UK2000 EGCC and CLS 747.

EGCC>EDDP, no issues.

EDDP>EGCC, Game freezes like before, but this time on approach.

So im guessing its now running out of VAS on approach to airports with scenery.

Any fixes for this?

still no fix, but fault finding is going to be on hold, as my MoBo fried itself somehow today. Playing another game and everything dies, test my PSU as that was my initial thought, but that runs fine when under the paperclip test.

So yeah, gotta wait for the whole RMA process before continuing with FSX fault finding.

I said make a clean install of the latest driver. DDU and a clean install.

You may have remnants of a previous driver from the basic Win 10 reinstallation.

Will try now.

looks like you might need to update your video driver.

nVidea/Gigabyte GTX980

Its already on the latest version.

Its the only error i can find, others are just notes and what not.

But that .dll is part of my GPU drivers. Nothing to worry about imo.

Will give it a try.

Flew from EGCC with UK2000 scenery in the CLS 747-200F. But crash occurs 15 or so minutes away from the scenery

Will place the new dll and try default a/c and scenery.

Used .18000, got to 34000ft and managed to cruise for a few minutes, then climbed to 36000, games froze just before hitting cruise.

Going to try the other version.

When it freezes I cant open task manager, everything locks up on screen, only thing I can get open is the start bar to restart the PC

All internet browsing is done on my laptop, FSX is running on my PC.

Downloaded the highest version and dropped it into my fsx folder, just started another test flight.

I use windows defender, Ive disabled it from doing background processes.

Its FSX Gold with Acceleration, Installed from Disk. Which version do I need?

Freezing is intermittent now, Locks up for 5 or so minutes, starts working again for a minute or two, then freezes again for another 5 or so.

Flight has resumed from where it crashed, climb is being continued from 22kft.

Too soon, froze again at 25k ft

Just hit 22K feet, swapping from external to 2D Cockpit, the game has froze, sound is still going, but no inputs are registered from my JS or keyboard.

Will leave it to see if it resumes, or I get an error...

After doing some changes with the questions asked below, Im going to have another test flight.

Only one occasion it crashed and I got the fatal error/FSX has stopped working message. the rest it just hangs and I restart the PC (most times I can hit the windows button and restart that way, not force restart via the button on my PC case)

Will report back.

I deleted all data on my SDD then re-installed windows onto that.

I also reformatted my HDD as well. Which is what FSX is on.

Nothing else on my computer freezes in this way, just FSX.

Also, in regards to Cortana...

You cant fully disable it with the latest build (1607 anniversary update) of windows, so ive just followed a 'How To' and created a new registry to fully disable Cortana, which has disabled it, as the Cortana Icon has been replaced with the Magnifying/Looking Glass, as it was prior to the Anniversary Update of windows 10.

http://www.howtogeek.com/265027/how-to-disable-cortana-in-windows-10/

Also reduced the processes that windows defender does in the background.

Only other programme that I have running in the background, that i didnt before, is Discord...As the group of guys a play with in other games, stopped using Teamspeak 3

Windows 10 is up to date Version 1607 Build 14393.105

SSD With my OS is optimised

HDD with FSX is defragged

One drive is disabled

Cortana is disabled, as far as I am aware

Privacy setting are all turned off.

Pause on task switch is off.

It freezes completely, so much so I cant tab out, I cant even see the task manager to close it.

I have to hit restart, or force restart by hitting the button on my PC Case.

Guys,

After a 3 year long break from simming, I recently came back into it, with installing FSX on my new PC.

Everything was running fine, but I had to Re-install windows 10 a month or so ago...

Now I re-installed FSX yesterday and it keeps freezing randomly, anything between 5 mins from the start of the flight, to 20 mins into the flight, usually when I reach my cruising altitude, or just before.

I have little addons in FSX at the moment;

UK2000 EGCC, EGGW & EGLL

CLS Airbus Collection Long Haul, A340-500/600 & B747-200/300.

Now ive tested it in different aircraft to make sure its not addon specific, and it still freezes.

Ive gone through as many fixes as possible on the forums, but still no breakthrough.

>Tried a complete re-install and removal of old registry entries.

>Set all settings to minimum and gradually increased them.

>Made sure FSUIPC was installed.

Any idea as to what is going on? It was fine prior to my re-install of windows 10.
