FS2K4 Crashing problem

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Just bought a new PC with a Radeon 9800 graphics card.

When I start FS2K4, every thing works OK until I click on FLY NOW!
The scenery etc. loads and the main window opens, then within 2 or 3 seconds
the system crashes and re-boots itself.

Anyone else had similar problems and know how to cure them.

Cheers

Crash to re-boot is almost always a hardware problem... I know that's not
much help but that's the starting point for diagnosis.

Does it crash when you select a flight too?
