I’ve been having some issues with my compute and I only seem to notice it on longer flights. After my computer is running for some 6 plus hours the screen will go black and an error message will tell me that fs9 is restarting. the last time this happen I was coming back from a 4 hour flight got handed off from Atl center to tower on the vis took it off auto and right when I hit z that’s when it happen. My processor is an AMD athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 5800+ 3.00G I have plenty of hard drive space left and 4 g ram I don’t know why it’s crashing
thanks Stephen

Stephen you need to look at your event viewer and tell us what the error message that causes the crash said, there is usually a fix for pretty much every crash, but we will need more info to be able to help you. Also what operating system are you using?

Use to happen with me I have a 3.8ghz quad core processor but fs9 can only use one. What I did was go into ctrl +alt+del and set fs9's priority to high. I also deselected all but one processor in the afinity page then reset to all. Some poeple say that this "tricks" fs9 into using all the processors. I noticed a slight increase in performance with the affinity settings but a huge difference in the priority setting on long flights. That was the only thing that kept me from adding 767/777's to my ratings, I would fly 6 hours with fspassengers only to have a CTD upon landing. Yeah you can recover in acars but you fsp. Flight would be gone. Try my settings and let me know if it works for you too.

Have you considered the heat and dirt issue? Have you done a cleaning with compressed air?

Alan: It isn't. Just a crash, and says: 'Microsoft Flight Simulator X is restarting...' (that's the supercewl solution of the win7.)
This happens when you have a lot of addons for your FSX. My directory is 100GB, so there's often a crash, but mostly on the ground before T/O. Good advices:
- There's a thing called ReadyBoost. (How to set: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/speed-up-your-windows-vista-computer-with-readyboost/) You can plug your pendrive and use it as a RAM. It's very handy, because if you have an FSX on cruising level, you won't have lagging mouses and never-closing applications while flying. It reserves the preselected (not more than 4 GB) space from your drive.
- Also, set the FSX priority to high. This will let the FSX to use more resource. But never ever set it higher than 'High'. It'll cause a nice BSOD.
- Close unused applications(!!)
