Nick is FSX acceleration required or can i just get the SP1 then install SP2? I mainly fly on VATSIM (boring airline practice stuff).

ok thanks! You agree that i should just reformat the entire FSX hardrive and start over right?

The BSOD is freaking me out a little bit; however, maybe it will resolve after I fix up the OS and what not.

I will however take a guess at this.. go into your BIOS and do the following:

NOTE:


Under the ADVANCED Menu

JumperFree Configuration Settings

AI Overclock tuner: MANUAL

CPU Ratio Setting: AUTO
Intel (R) Turbo Mode Tech: ENABLED/ (DISABLED IF CLOCKING CPU)
BLCK Frequency: AUTO (or 133)
PCIE Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: 1600
UCLK Frequency: 3200Mhz  always 2 x DRAM FREQUENCY



DRAM VOLTAGE: 1.65 (1.66 is fine too)

QPI/DRAM VOLTAGE: 1.35v (1.37v is OK as well)

DRAM Timing Control: MANUAL

Asuuming this is the memory product:

1st Information :

CAS# Latency: 8
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay: 8
DRAM RAS# PRE Time: 8
DRAM RAS# ACT Time: 24
DRAM RAS# to RAS# Delay: AUTO
DRAM REF Cycle Time: AUTO
DRAM Write Recovery Time: AUTO
DRAM Read to Precharge Time: AUTO
DRAM FOUR ACT WIN Time: AUTO
DRAM Back-To-Back CAS# Delay: AUTO

2nd Information :

DRAM Timing Mode: 1N
DRAM Round Trip Latency on CHA: AUTO
DRAM Round Trip Latency on CHB: AUTO
DRAM Round Trip Latency on CHC: AUTO






F10 save and exit


see if your BSOD clears.. if it does you most likely have a corrupt OS and FSX install due to memory voltage not being correct before you started installing everything. If it appears that is so then start over with the settings I posted above in the BIOS and wipe it all out.

If not, I need to know exactly what the conditions are with the BSOD and what the error message says.

go back up and read what I posted about your BIOS

1600 memory needs 1.65v.. if the BIOS is set to AUTO it may not be running DRAM VOLTAGE correctly and when DRAM VOLTAGE is set to 1.65, QPI/DRAM VOLTAGE must come up to 1.35v

If that is true then everything was installed on flaky memory and if that BSOD is no longer showing.. I suggest you start over and wipe it, all

send 50,000 in small unmarked bills to:

Boy Did I Get Ripped Off
PO Box 90210
Walla Walla, Washington 99362

Please allow 4-6 weeks for us to leave the country

All the stuff below is what i had to change. It says i am in overclock mode now (the ASUS utility that automatically controls fan/power settings so it is not able to work anymore). After I saved and Exit it gave me the BSOD right away after booting normally.

Any thoughts

The log from the error does not help.. because the information I need is on the blue screen itself. What you posted is useless to me. That is part of the log which requires special software to decompile and show the full error

I need you to write down what is on the screen.

example

IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL with a number string and possbly a file named


I dont need the full blow "if this is the first time you have seen this error"... junk

Go to System and Maintenance->System->Advanced system settings->Startup and recovery settings and uncheck the box to automatically restart. That will let the BSOD remain visible, giving you the opportunity to write down the STOP code and error message.





Those setting should not have crashed.. something is not right


go into the BIOS and also set this with what I posted above:

Note: Not all settings may appear


Advance CPU Settings
CPU Ratio Setting: Auto
C1E Suppport: DISABLED
Hardware Prefetcher: ENABLED
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch: ENABLED
Intel® Virtualization Tech: DISABLED
CPU TM Function: DISABLED
Execute Disable Bit: DISABLED
Intel (R) HT Techology: DISABLED
Active Processor Cores: ALL
A20M: DISABLE
Intel (R) SpeedStep (TM) Tech: DISABLED
Intel (R) Turbo Mode Tech: DISABLED
Intel (R) C-STATE Tech: DISABLED



also... if it crashes again, try them with UCLK Frequency: AUTO


something is definitely not right here
