FSX & Windows 10 stops after 10 minutes or so

Hi All,

 

I think this question may have been asked already, but my searching didn't turn up anything.

 

I've installed FSX on a Windows 10 PC. It starts ok but then quits after about 10 minutes.

 

I'm using a HP model h8-1010 with 8GB of RAM

 

My graphics card is an ASUS EAH6850. Chip type AMD Radeon (0x6739) with 4GB of RAM

 

I've used dxdiag.exe to check graphics drivers and don't see anything wrong.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion.

 

Thanks

When you say "it quits" do you actually mean a crash to desktop? Have you checked your Events Viewer to look for a faulting module?

 

Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Event Viewer, select Custom Views-> Administrative Events.

One of the listed events will be for your CTD. The "Faulting Module" should point to the problem area.

 

Tell us what the Faulting Module is! That will point us in the direction of the proper error, aiding in troubleshooting.

 

 

BELOW IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE!

 

General Tab:

Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14

Faulting module name: This is what we need to Know!

Exception code: 0xc0000005

Fault offset: 0x0000ee3a

Faulting process id: 0x748

Faulting application start time: 0x01ce0253dc4b69d4

Faulting application path: R:\FSX\fsx.exe

Faulting module path: R:\FSX\window.dll

Report Id: 9caf77b4-6e50-11e2-8570-3085a99825d1

 

If there is not one listed:

Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000,

you will need to do as previously noted

 

 

No Faulting Module? ->

Remove all of the add-ons, and test the sim. If it works OK, then reinstall them one at a time and test.

Be sure to test each thoroughly before moving on to the next

When I use the event viewer, as you suggest, it comes up with:

 

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

 

The Source: indicates DistributedCOM

Thanks. That's what I'm trying now. I set the systems to Low and put the plane in the air with the map view. Once back to the cockpit, I just hit "Z" and come back in 30 minutes :)
