Lets hope someone here can help me with this issue? Whenever I setup a flight, I can go about 3-10 minutes before FSX CTD. Below is what the event viewer is saying is going on.

Description:
Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.62615.0, time stamp: 0x559f9a9a
Faulting module name: nvd3dum.dll, version: 22.21.13.8476, time stamp: 0x5952b7cc
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00702aa1
Faulting process id: 0x19f0
Faulting application start time: 0x01d303468032a546
Faulting application path: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\fsx.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\nvd3dum.dll
Report Id: 17a86527-6f3b-11e7-8b2c-00224d99fe45

I have done all sorts of research on this particular problem. Here are some of the actions I've performed in an effort to correct this problem.

1. Updated the BIOS driver's

2. Checked my system for any out of date driver's

3. Tried an older version of Direct X

4. Installed the current driver's for my GPU. (Ge Force GTX1050 ti) Also tried 7 older driver versions, each time performing a clean install.

5. Everything was okay for a memtest.

Each time I did a driver change, I made sure that anti virus programs were disabled. Depending on what you read, some say that they had the same issue even though they performed a clean install of FSX.

I was considering wiping FSX till I read the post about still crashing after a clean re-install. If anyone has any suggestions on this problem? I would love to hear them.

Is your system overclocked?

FSX is a lost cause. You will spend your entire life trying to go through a flight with no issues...seems if you dont have issues you dont get em, but if you have issues they never leave you. I have a top notch system, high end components, and FSX never performed. It has issues, as a program, mainly being 32-bit...

I would just take the jump to P3DV4, if you can.

THAT said, if you want to try an get FSX working, try running as admin. If you run other programs with it, turn those off and just run FSX...see if it crashes. If it doesnt, then keep turning on other addons till it crashes. Try using default planes.

Try looking at this post as well on that .dll file that keeps crashing: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/657016/faulting-module-name-nvd3dum-dll/?offset=15

Try reverting back to an old driver.

The .dll file that is crashing is from your graphics card. If you recently updated your drivers, IK there were issues with the latest batch - I had to revert back to an old driver as well.

You could also delete the .dll file, reinstall the driver or find the .dll file and replace it.

Also check this post: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/395330-ctd-caused-by-nvd3dumdll/

But, again, you are gonna spend days and days getting this to work if it does not fix fast, and it might be worth it to just jump the ship.

It's been an interesting time to say the least. So here's what I've done thus far.

Uninstalled all scenery's
Uninstalled all payware aircraft
Uninstalled all utilities
Uninstalled FSX-SE
Deleted any and all traces of FSX from my computer. Re-installed FSX-SE, and re-installed each scenery. After each scenery was installed, I ran FSX to make sure that it installed correctly. I performed this same routine for my payware aircraft, and my utilities. So far everything was working good.
Then I re-installed EZDOK. I was in the process of setting my views in iFly 737 and it CTD. So then I tried my LDS 767. Part way through the process of setting my views? CTD! Moved on and tried it on PMDG 777. Same thing happened. Totally uninstalled EZDOK, and so far I haven't experienced a CTD. Gonna perform some additional short/long flights and see if I got this figured out? eek

The woes continue. I have discovered that some of my payware aircraft are CTD a short time after starting. After the extensive reading I've done, and all the suggested fixes. I think I'm gonna start with a fresh Windows 7 install on a new HDD that I got. nuts

I just did on my a new fresh install (formatted) on my PC too and now I have an awesome P3D V4 working great.

Hi Phil.

It's been a long time since I've used FSX, but I seem to remember my Anti-aliasing setting on my Nvidia card causing everything else to go nuts and CTD.
If you are using Nvidia Inspector external settings, you might want to setup a new profile with defaults for the card, then try the lowest AA setting in FSX.
There was a point where I had good frame rates, so I pushed 8xSSA (or something like that) and it was stable for a while, but then started CTD's. I eventually troubleshot it down to AA settings and lowering them stabilized my FSX setup.
Just one of the 2 million things that made FSX crash.
