Just when we think all is fine, now this is happening!

What is going on here? The temp on the GPU is 46 under load.

I used to have a graphic card that when it over heated it did that.
Are you over clocked in any way? I found that I had a lot of dust and it was causing my machine to over heat.
Sorry to see that. Undecided

maybe clean out your air ducts on the graphics card. I have to do that somewhat frequently. The passages are quite small and they accumulate stuff rather quickly. It requires some dis-assembly of the card....at least for me. And a soft brush, and a bottle of compressed air. Do it outside........ dusty/ messy.

best,

I was looking at the temp under load and it was 46º. Is that too hot for a GTX 285?

I'll clean it out just to be sure....

46 is nothing for that card. It is rated to run as high as 80c. I have seen mine in the high 70's playing FC2 but it hardly ever goes above 65 in FSX. I also usually set the fan speed to 70% when playing. My guess is something memory related on the card. If using a bufferpool setting (not sure if thats possible in FS9) take it out. Man you really have bad luck with FS.

No bufferpool setting.

I stopped using nHancer to see if I could get my multi-monitor setup to work again. It was letting me pull it over without crashing.

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the NVidia control panel. I'm not sure how to set it up to work correctly. Do I turn on anti aliasing in the game now?

OK, sounds like the driver became corupt on you. Un-install Nhancer, un-install your vc driver, then boot in safe mode and run driver sweeper, and re-install your driver. I dont have fs9 so Im not sure how to tell you to turn it on in game. You should be able to set it thru the nvidia CP I think. SO are you saying that WITHOUT Nhancer you can move things around without crashing?

Well you could be using a frequency that the mother board is not happy with. Or a program running in the back ground that you don't know about is.
Use "EndItall" then run the sim again and see what happens.

Do you have the latest drivers for your card?

Might be worth lifting your card and reseating in case it's worked loose and not making full contct. I had one a few years ago that did dtrange things for that very reason.
