Hi Everyone.
Its been awhile since I post a thread. I need your advice and expertise.
Ive been up to my neck with work this past 18 months so Ive had little time to fly. I have some issues with my video card.
I recently bought a no break that can handle over 750W of power for my power supply (which is 750W).
Specs:
My system is over clocked to 3.64Ghtz (its an I7 870 @2.6GHTz.)
16GB or RAM.
GTX470 video card.
1TB hard Drive.
Water Cooling system
Problem:
When I fly, at about 1 or 2 hours of flight, My screen kinda pixels and freezes, the GPU fan shuts down, and the system restarts. Some time, Im able to open the GTX tool kit and force the fan to continue working. And sometimes, It just freezes everything and I have to manually turn off the power for the computer (literally unplugging the cable).
This does not happen when Im using the computer normally. It only happens when using FS9.
My possible explanation (And I'm no expert)
GPU needs more power to work and suddenly shuts down when using full resources. (for it only happens when in the simulator).
Or.
I might have had a voltage problem in my house before I bought the professional no-break and the GPU might have suffered some injury.
Has anyone experienced this? or might suggest me what to do?
If this is the problem, I might need a new video card.
If so, any suggestions? (I can spend around 350 usd).
I appreciate your time and help...
Regards.
