FS2004 rebooting Windows XP Pro

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games.zone.simulation (More info?)

Hi Everyone

I have a Gigabyte P4 2.4G motherboard with 1 G of Ram,
Nvidia G4 TI4200 128 ram Card. I cant use FS2004, tried
everything. Reformated and reinstalled, updated
motherboard Bios, video bios, SIS AGP driver, latest
nvidia driver. The only thing not new is my old SB live
sound card and the latest drivers are 2002?. But when I
use FS2004 after flight of about 10 mins Windows reboots
all of a sudden, no errors no your system has had a
problem.

I use FS2002 Professional with no issues at all.
Any thoughts Ive just about had it


Tony

Did you disable the automatic restart one error? (Check XP Help &
Support if you need to disable it) If yes the machine may be
overheating, did you check the temperature under load with FS running?

Hi Katy

Thanks for your reply, I did disable and just got a blue
screen which didnt really mean much to me, how do I check
the temp under load, is there a util I can use
and also what would be considered a high temp,

Regards

Tony

What was the error message? The temperatures you posted are in the
tolerance range...

Whoops! That *might* be the source of the problem. Nvidia's latest
drivers are optimized for the Geforce 5x series.
I have a Ti4600 and the only non-trouble driver I've found is 53.03.

Later drivers gave me flickerings in sim mode (as opposed to menu/option
mode).
Give it a try.
