Complete graphics meltdown when playing DCS [Late 2.7 to latest Open Beta with MT]

[Mordant]

This issue has made my game unplayable. I will start off with what’s happening, my specs, and finally what I’ve tried to do to fix it.

 

Heres the simple rundown: At completely random times while playing DCS, all 4 of my monitors will go black and flicker for 5-7 seconds. When they return, all of my applications except DCS are effed(technically alive in the sense that they work, but have no visuals) and often DCS is frozen but not dead. Around 75% of the time, after having its fit, DCS will have a permanent black bar at the top. The whole thing is so unbelievably frustrating as I have no idea what’s causing it, but I will get to what I tried later. 

Edit: Important to note that DCS does not last long after this fit occurs. Often crashes within a minute or two. I have gotten various errors from SRS and other programs as well as this happens but I have not been able to remember or understand their contents

 

My specs are a water cooled Ryzen 7 5800X, 32gb (4x8gb) 3200mhz ram, RTX 3060Ti, a 16gb(?) page file, and like 5 different drives with anything from it being a 7 year old hard drive to a 1tb NVMe ssd. DCS is on the NVMe. 

 

I have DDU’ed my graphics card to ensure that isn’t the issue, I have done microsoft’s memory tests as well as their drive checker(on all my drives) which all have come back with no corruption or issues. Running FurMark with all other variables equal is uneventful(I tested it at 1440p 8x MSAA for 4+ hours and never had a flicker. Sat in my chair for 4 hours doing nothing but monitoring it and scrolling on my phone). The GPU, CPU, RAM, and drives are working optimally at face value. I even cleaned out all the dust. I reseated RAM. Reseated my GPU. Only thing I haven’t looked too hard into is the CPU, but I haven’t had any issues with it. 

 

This issue has been going on for ~6 months now and I’ve tried to keep it off the forums because my ego wouldn’t let me. Plus I wanted to see if MT would make things better, and unfortunately it did not improve this issue. 

 

Literally any help or advice is a blessing, any new lead or possibility is helpful. I’m at a complete loss.

 

This video is the most recent one, I was on Rotorheads in an A-10(shh) in Syria. MT made my performance awesome until I was in cruise and this fit struck. I whipped out my phone and recorded it. For reference, left screen had SRS and discord. Right had spotify. Important to note that spotify was still pumping music, even while the app looked like it was euthanized. Center low had task manager, and center high(or main) had dcs. It’s a pretty shoddy video, but it should give some context to how weird this is…

Thanks. It looks like your system drive is full:
