FSX runs fine... the problem
is you or your system

I have no idea.. I dont use REX and have no issues like that so I can not advise
You will need to seek out ASA or REX support on that one
Post the CPUz CPU and memory tabs to verify your status and unless you have anything technical to address, lets call it a wrap
I need to stay focused on GEX EU now.. glad I could help and I am sure what you have there will provide exactly what you wanted in FSX for some time

All is running great Nick! Thank you sooooo much for all your efforts!
All I am getting now if the FSUIPC 4.0 for controller calibration
screen shots will follow, I hope all is well with GEX EU!

Nick,
No rush, but I had a question on sound that I have noticed. A lot of my cockpit sounds have not been working and I am finally noticing now that I can actually fly in the sim
First off, when looking straight out the cockpit I can barely hear anything; however, when I turn to the side it gets loud all of the sudden.
The Autopilot disconnect sound is not working in ANY airplane.
the IFR "markers" Inner/Middle/Outer are not making noise (even when I activate the sound on the COMM panel) in ANY plane.
In a payware plane the seatbelt signs are not working, the flight attendant calls are not working, and the GPWS/TCAS noises are not working.
What can this be since it seems to be a constant theme inside the cockpit. Let me know what you think.
Thanks man!

Nick,
i was on a flight in normal cruise and the sim froze up. I looked over the sound was still normal, it just was not responding. Any ideas? Temps were fine (63C) it had been running for an hour when it froze.

Assuming this was not a program or addon glitch,.. If you see that happen again nudge the CPU VOLTAGE up a hair
if it is at 1.32v then nudge it up to 1.33 or 1.34v. Start lower
Thats the only BIOS setting that will influence a lockup like that other than memory voltage and I know that one is right and should not need to be increased however if you wanted to test it 1.67v would be OK for DRAM VOLTAGE if nudging up the CPU Voltage to 1.34 does not stop the problem.
If after both of those changes you see the same issue without change I would set them both back to what you had and I would suspect the problem is not the voltage and instead something software related

Ok thanks! When I terminated FSX for "not responding" the system was fine. It is probaly CS757, ASA, or REX. hmmmmm
FSUIPC is set to autosave every 60seconds now just in case

Nick,
All was running great but tonight the computer turned off and will not turn back on. I check the PSU and it is getting power to the motherboard. I tried to power up from the motherboard directly with no success either. What do you think needs a bandaid on this ???

Ok it is running again. Do you by any chance have the BIOS settings for the 4ghz OC? I review the postings but i think the memory timing is giving me problems or the QPI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not sure why it restored my old bios without me telling it to.

Nick no longer hangs out at Simviation and has not for close to a year, to many things on his plate, something had to give.
What you are looking for starts on Post #143 on 5/31/09 with additional information in Posts 151, 152, 178 and 184.
The below is from Post 143 and these are for 3.8GHz, paste these into Word and then read through Posts 144 to 184 and modify the below with what ever changes you and Nick made to get to 4.0GHz and be stable. After that print it off and then go into your BIOS and make the changes.
If you have any questions or need any additional help let me know.
Regards,

I put these settings in and it just reboots. Anything that could have broke randomly to not allow an overclock anymore? It happened so randomly.

I think it might be memory settings, it appears to be working now. In CPU-Z memory is showing a DRAM Freq. of 800Mhz and an NB Freq of 3200. Is this correct or is the DRAM too low?
Thank you so much for your help!

The ram is double data rate (DDR3) so you take what CPU-Z shows and times it by 2 (800*2=1600), your ram freq is fine and so is your NB (UCLK).

Your PC is two years old, have you cleaned all the dust off your HSF since you built it?
Your PSU could be going bad, your HD with the OS could be going bad, your ram could be going bad, it could be different things. In a case like this you just have to start testing to see if you can narrow it down.
Have you used RealTemp lately and looked at your CPU core temps? You may need to remove your HSF, clean off the old TIM and apply new TIM.
As your PC ages you may need to bump your Vcore (CPU Voltage).
To start off with you need to make sure and get the same setting in your BIOS that you had two years ago after you and Nick first got it to 4GHz and stable. The only way that I know to do that is for you to go through the whole thread from post #143 to the end and write down all the changes that were made and then what you are left with is what you put in.
If you want you can print off the template from post #203, get into your BIOS and on that templete write down your current settings, then post your current settings and I will look at them and see if I think anything is out of whack.
A good check to see if your OC is the problem is to just get into BIOS and reset to the default settings, if your PC runs fine at default then you know it is something to do with your OC. If you do this make sure that you set your OS HD as the primary boot device before you F10 save and exit.

I have gone over the BIO settings multiple times and upped the voltage slightly and it is still crashing. I will try and doing a dusting tonight and see. The temps do not seem to be going up higher than they normally do either.
The memory settings in bios seem to not be giving me the same options each time i boot up. Right now it seems to be a bit more stable with my nNB Freq @2400 & DRAM @ 600?
I really appreciate your help! I am finishing up my instrument rating and would love to have this thing stabilize

At this point in time I think you should start from scratch, it sounds like you are just changing settings or using the settings that I posted and that is not why I posted them.
You need to go through the thread and write down the settings that Nick and you came up with. I posted mine for information only.
You should reset your BIOS to default non OC settings and see if you are stable. If your are stable at default settings then we can go from there, if you are not stable at default settings then it is not your OC that is causing the problem.
Another thing, if your BIOS is acting flakey then change the battery on your motherboard and reset your CMOS. Your manual will tell you how to reset CMOS and where your battery is.
