Hey Guys,

This has happened two times today and I'm starting to get little annoyed from it.

1st Event, I was flying on FS2004 with the aircraft iFly 737, I was on final to KMSP and then I get the red screen with lines like in the picture.

2nd Event, After arriving at the gate and submitted the PIREP and set the cockpit to Cold and Dark, I was about to step away for a few mins, BOOM! The same red screen appears! mad

It's annoying to me right now.

Here are my PC Specs if you need to know...

- Intel Core Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz
- ASUS EAH6850 (1GB) Video Card
- 3 GB of RAM
- Windows 7, 32-bit

It would be great if anyone knows what is going on because it's the first time I seen a red screen.

Thanks!

Either your graphics card is having an issue, or your monitor is going bad. Make sure your GPU (graphics) is cooling and not over heating. How old is your graphics card?

Brand Spanking New! It's 1 week old. It's cooling and the tempature is at around 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit)

For the whole 2010, I replaced 3 Video Cards because it was failing with the same problem.

same issue with 3 video cards, makes me wonder if your motherboard is having an issues. Check your motherboard and make sure the bios is up to date. But I have a feeling you have a defective slot.

Okay, I'll check on the bios and see what I have there and check the slots. Will return with some answers in an hour.

Thanks for your help Michael! smile

Okay, UPDATE!

I did an update with my BIOS, it went okay. The slots seems to be fine.

I'll do another flight or something else, and see if that red screen comes up again. (BETTER NOT!).
