resolved PC reset when trying to join MP servers

[Strong05]

Resets at the end of the load bar, tried multiple servers with different maps same result.  Single player seems to work fine.  Tried latest GPU drivers and rolling them back, and a repair of DCS.

 

Update:  CPU OC was the cause.

What's your swap file settings/size?

Hi, 

 

can you attach the dcs log when the crash happens, it will give us more information.

 

Make sure windows and your graphics driver are up to date.

 

thanks

BIGNEWY,

 

Not sure which of these you need.  I don't think it generated a log file when the PC reset.  Computer reset at least 4 of the 5 times I tried to load into MP.  This is the one time DCS CTD.  GPU drivers are up to date, mobo bios is also on the latest.  No mods in DCS, vanilla beta install, with SRS and Tacview.  Windows does have one outstanding update, I will see if I can get that loaded (I've had trouble with this in the past not working). 

 

Cheers

Set to 14GB.  Plus I have 32 GB of ram.  If it's using all of that and hard crashing when it does, then DCS has some serious problems.

Yeah, but it does have that issue from time to time.

[Strong05]

Fixed.  CPU overclock was causing the problem.  Weird because it's usually stable.

Thanks for your feedback.

 

Remember: a blue screen means the O.S. was unable to rely on its hardware. It's always either a hardware issue or a driver iissue

 

In Windows, you can 'hide' the blue screens. In this case, the PC reboots without showing them. To enable BSOD display, follow this guide: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/69012-enable-disable-bsod-automatic-restart-windows-10-a.html

Thank you Flappie.  I've gotten BSOD before, not sure why they were not showing in this case.
