Can not run dcs much anymore

[FOXFIRE TWOONE]

I have had a problem flying in dcs since JAN. Problem began with cashing to desktop then progressed to complete shutdown of computer at different phases of load screen, too clicking on fly, if lucky enough to get that far. Once in a while I am able to fly a mission but more often, not. I am current on latest OB update. I have not tried a mission yet because if it shut's down I can't get a log. I am attaching a log that goes only as far as the home screen. So if you see anything that may be a standout problem let me know, or if it may warn't a reinstall. Last reinstall was just before F18 launch.

 

Thanks

Have you tried running a repair ? Do you have any mods installed ?

Hi

 

As mentioned above try a cleanup and repair first.

If you still have no joy rename your DCS.openbeta folder e.g DCS.openbetabackup.

 

 

C:\Users\Phantom\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta

 

then restart DCS open beta, it will create a new folder and all settings including your login.

Restart DCS and test again.

 

If this helps it could have been a setting or 3rd party ad-don issue.

 

If you have no joy please post your new dcs.log here and we will try to help some more.

Renamed file extension to view log . Doesn't indicate usb . Think a re-install may be in order .

(Edit) sniped by BigN . Yeah , try that first...

Renamed OB folder as suggested, so far every thing good :smilewink: keeping my finger crossed.

Turns out that my crashing had continued after a day or two from that last post, but the issue is completely fix now. Turn's out that my power supply was dying and I had tested it at the plug and checked voltages in my bios and the number looked good so I was looking at ever piece of hardware as possible problem for months. Finally last week after getting computer to boot I checked for kennel errors and found code 41 kennel power. Most info of found on internet pointed to PSU. So I broke down and purchased a new one and now my computer is running sweet. Oh the frustration I went through.
