so i dont know what happened but somewhere in the past week my computer has gone screwy. last week it was running perfectly then i started getting some scenery problems which resulted in my completely reinstalling fsx. somewhere in there i started getting errors and fsx would just completely CTD on startup or get an unknown error, then i started getting an error with fsuipc that if i said i wanted to run it fsx would get an error and crash, but if i didnt run it it would work. i tried reinstalling fsuipc multiple times but that didnt work, so i reinstalled again but got errors with my plane models having a lot of missing parts which after some googling i thought might be a corrupt Acceleration installation, so i repair installed that to no avail, so i then reinstalled all of fsx again. now im getting StackHash errors anywhere from immediately on startup to 5 minutes of sitting at the main screen to 30 seconds after loading up at an airport. there's not a whole lot of information about stackhash errors with fsx on google, so im coming here as a last resort. someone PLEASE tell me they have at least some idea as to a solution. i was up till 6am working on this the other night and it's 3:30am as i write this right now. would love to get this fixed and have a working fsx again so i can get some sleep.

I don't recall ever experiencing StackHash errors, although in the past when I've had issues with FSX, I had to evaluate a number of questions...

When you re-installed FSX, did you perform an uninstall first and reboot?
After you re-installed FSX, did you install any other add-ons besides Acceleration?
Have you tried removing your FSX.cfg file from your roaming profile directory and restart FSX?
Have you made any other changes to the system at the OS / hardware level?
Have you performed a scan of the disk for errors?

When I need to uninstall an application, I like to follow it up with a registry scan/cleanup, followed by a reboot. The app I use for this is AdvancedSystemCare. It's free for the majority of the functions I need, although you have to be careful when you install it as they've packaged it up with other software that I deem sketchy. A real down-fall IMO, but overall a great app for maintaining system health and performance.

I've had my FSX.cfg file go corrupt in the past for what appeared to be no reason which had caused some unexpected FSX stability issues. Applications can start to go wonky if the underlying hard disk is having issues and memory going bad as well. Typically hardware issues will cause blue screens which appears to not be an issue in your case.

Jim over at AVSIM had a similar issue when he enabled DX10.

One thing we have always be on the lookout, is when you install an addon and that addon start doing error with your FSX.

I have learned the hard way to always create a restore point whenever I add anything to P3D! I did notice Jeff mentioned removing the FSX.cfg file from the roaming section, does this mean it will be recreated when FSX starts up? Would that work for P3D's cfg file as well?
