A bit of wisdom for an old geezer

[Capn Penguin]

We are going through the other options with no issues so far. The difficulty is that the resets, while always in DCS are random. Yesterday I flew for almost 6 hours and then while tootling away from the Georgia coast back out to sea. BAM!!! Then it reset three times in 45 minutes.

 

There is seemingly no rhyme or reason. But we shall hunt down the wily culprit and it shall be assimilated. (Channeling my inner Borg)

I have spent several hours on the web trying to understand it but my 51 year old grey matter is not able to put the pieces together. guidance you can provide.

 

By the way... It's not as bad as it looks :D Follow the fashion.

Four 8Gig sticks @ 3200 ? , timings might be a bit tight.

 

 

Populating all dimms can be problematic.

I ordered the Corsair rmx 850 X power suppliy. It was rated highly at several of the hardware web sites and I found multiple positive statements about it here on the forums. They had one that could be delivered today so I ordered it as a just to be ready.

 

LOL a RMX 550 X is what runs my DCS box. Likely you now have two PSUs worth keeping even if it's not the issue :smilewink:

HW dependent though. IIRC, he had a very beefy system.

Just for PSU argument sake. And yes Bitmaster I know we've had this discussion. I'm running the same system OC'd to hell on a 650W PSU. Not one issue.

[hansangb]

I don't think it's that 650 may not be enough. I think the argument is that an unhealthy PSU can't output 650. That was the case for me. 1120W PSU. Fine for DCS. PUBG and only PUBG took it over the edge. Replaced it with 1000W EVGA PSU and problem was gone. So I'm not sure how much my 1120PSU degraded.

Welp, I know it's an early test but 2 hours in with an F-18 flying around on autopilot, wel several F-18, they kept running out of JP-4..... or JP-8, whatever the electronic Navy uses, and nadda boot.

 

Family left so now I'm settling in to fly the night away. We'll see what happens. :)

 

Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me.

Woot! keep us posted John! :-)

[BitMaster]

Merry Christmas John :)

 

Yep, on paper and if in real good shape a 650w "should" be enough. Real Life is different than paper.

 

Have a ball :)

Thank you all very much. My fingers are sore from all the button pushing as is my right arm, Heck who needs the gym, I have DCS now :).

 

Thanks again everyone.

...well wadyaknow, now I'm crashing :cry_2:

 

I've seen a few user crashing since the last update, maybe this has something to do with it?

[BitMaster]

attach the crash log, so we can see why who when and what not, hopefully.

 

 

Crashes happen, unless they are very often and can be triggered it "could" just be one of those that do occur, sometimes, but not every 30min or every time you release a bomb or extend the gear kinda thing.

 

 

more details really help :)

 

 

Merry Christmas

Hi everybody just wanted to bring some closure to this thread...

 

As I've suspected a DCS repair and delete of the shaders folders did the trick, so sorry for implying the coding gods were not up to the task. :doh:

[BitMaster]

Hehe, we've all been there with those folders.

 

DELETE them both after every update of DCS and your NVidia driver.

 

Make it a habit :)
