If you had not expirenced any problems at all with your PC and FSX prior to your Saitek X52 installation, then this seems to be in direct relation to your Saitek X52. I would contact support from Saitek Support and get some answers.

The Blue Screen can be attributed to a couple of issues, some bios, and not enough resources available on the motherboard, to mention a few. Windows versions not compatible with FSX and your Hardware, prior to initializtion, not set up right. Seek professional help if you are the least bit unfamiliar with this.

Go to support for your Saitek X52 would be the first step I would go to, good as any place to start.

Saitek is supported by Madcatz. Here in San Diego the direct phone number is : 619.683.2815.  I've had EXCELLENT customer service from them in the past. Hope this helps. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
