NorthernViking Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone, Im experiencing hard hangs with computer while playing DCS or even just using the Editor. They seem to be coming at random intervals. I am finding no way to duplicate it and since its hard hangs im not getting any crash dumps, neither from the game or the computer, Computer only gives me Kernal-Power 41 that the computer was shut down unexpectedly(Thats from when i press the reset button on my case to restart away from the hang) and "Microsoft-Windows-EnhancedStorage-EhStorTcgDrv A TCG Command has returned an error." in the Event Viewer. Screen just freezes up and locks the whole computer up with no possible input possible. Ive scanned for malware,spyware and viruses. Computer is clean(well nothing shows up anyway), Ive also scanned the registry and its also not showing any errors. Been trying to solve this by reformating and installing OS, works a couple days with no hangups playing but then after a few days they reappear, I did not have these issues with 1.2.7 which makes me think its possible its DCS. Also ive been running a stress test to see if computer hangs without interaction with DCS with IntelBurn Test. And while it starts to make ALOT of noise and going 100% it keeps on going. Which also makes me think its about DCS and not the hardware (Cant be completely sure since im no computer wizard) Please help, Not sure what information would be needed but will supply it to the best of my ability.

Abburo Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 You have to attach some descriptions of your PC and DCS logs. For me DCS is working fine... so for sure it is something related to your configuration and hardware state.

blackgold Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 You need to do a CPU test that checks the calculations for accuracy. With high clock CPUs you can get errors like you've explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abburo Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 First of all you have to troubleshoot your storage device as it seems that one is the root cause. All other devices looks ok and compliant with DCS. Don't overthrust the stress tests as they are not always perfect. Change your drive, install DCS World free edition to not loose yet the activation, and stress it again by playing DCS. PS: if the processor or anything else is overcloked turn them back to default.
