Black screen

After replacing my HD from a NVMe SSD 1TB to a 2TB I get a black screen when I hit fly. I have installed both SP 1 & 2 and many reboots. same thing. I'm at a loss trying to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz

32 GB Ram

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design, 8GB NVram

What SSD model is it? Are there any firmware updates for it? Does it happen with any other sims or games? Are there any errors in the Windows event logs?

Did you do a complete clean reinstall? What version are you using? Im guessing not FSX Steam as you say you have reinstalled SP1 and 2 (which come with Steam i believe). Have you tried rebuilding your fsx.cfg? Doubt its anything to do with your new SSD but more an FSX install issue

when the screen is black wait till the sim either starts

(then look for why the pc is slow)

or fsx crashes

(then look for the crash report)

 

Some reasons for slowness:

file indexing not finished

virusscanner scanning

internet issue

updates pending

hardware issue

- usb devices, printer, etc

-cooling

-overclock settings

 

reasons to crash:

Many. See: what "faulting module" is listed in crash report. look up solution online.

 

Also basic things to try.

- Reset the startup flight to 'Ultralight Over Friday Harbor' using the fsx.cfg file.

 

- close fsx, delete the fsx.cfg file, start fsx to create a new fsx.cfg file with default settings.
