Windows Vista Home Premium+Flight Simulator X=blue death please

[Guest]

Hi,
I have Windows Vista Home Premium and Flight Simulator X Deluxe, if i play
more then cca 10min, the PC crash down(Blue death). Testing with all default
planes, Wilco A320 series, CVA Zlin 142 and PMDG Beechcraft 1900D on LKPR,
LKKV, LKTB, EDDF, HEGN, LIRF, OMDB……… Do you know any solutions?

Listing your PC hardware would help. Have you run the windows Update in the
last couple of days ? There is some program fixes and one of them I believ
ewas for Flight Sim X

Sounds like you might have a bad\flaky video driver. Which video card do you
have and have you downloaded the latest driver for it ?

Does any other game work ? If you haven't tried, I'd suggest going to
futuremark.com and downloading 3dmark06 and letting it run on teh default
setting, if it fails, then odds are you have bad drivers or maybe bad
hardware.

Yes, i updates my PC yesterday (3 patch). Probably, problem is in graphic
card, i have old geforce 5700 what nvidia doesnt supported for vista

and this is the error 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
whats wrong? please

I can't seem to find the details for Vista, but here's what the error code
means in Win2000
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/w2kmsgs/6077.asp

More than likely it's your video drivers mis-behaving which rigt now under
Vista, isn't so rare. I am surprise that you were able to run all the way
through the 3dmark06 and not get a crash. I would have thought the 5700
would have scored a little better than a 186. I'm surprise FSX runs worth
playing on that card

My person suggestion would be to spend about $100 and get a better video
card like this nvdia card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814141038
or this ATI card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161053


Looking on nVidia website, the 5700 is supported under Vista. I think right
now you're man problem is video video drivers. Which drivers are you using ?

 

[Guest]

I know, that is old card, but, i want buy upcommnig geforce 8600

and FSX runnig great, in medium details, addon airport scenery and plane cca
15-20FPS

 

[Guest]

and i use default vista driver for my graphic card

 

[Dale M. White]

When you say default, do you mean the ones that shipped with Windows ? If
so, that's your problem.Those drivers aren't really meant to be used for
gaming, those drivers are meant to get windows up with Aero and that's abotu
it. That probably explains why you only got a 186 score.

You seriously need to go and grab the nVidia drivers

I suspect things will be better once you're running those

 

[Guest]

yes, i mean the "aero" driver, this driver (100.65) supported 6100 and newer

 

[Dale M. White]

Well, I would try the newer drivers anyway. If they are no better you can
always un-install them. Worse case, you may be waiting until you get that
8600 before you get any real driver support

Might try running it as winxp sp2. Right click on icon, choose
compatibility tab and select xp on the drop down menu.
