Hipster Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 After a long time without any issues my game has started to crash. No hardware changes, and although I suspect running my system on a 500W PSU isn't helping, it was working okay until a day or so ago. I have tried Flappies troubleshooting guide but drew a blank, so would appreciate any insights anyone may have? Notes - DCS loads and I can select "instant action" and an F-15E Nav mission. I noticed a "stutter" during the splash screen at "world load 1/60"...this normally just races through to 60/60 but stalls at about 20/60 for a second or two. Once into the mission the screen will be filled with gobledegook after about 30 seconds, and then there will either be a hard crash (system restart) or a DCS crash (system resets to desktop). On the last DCS crash I have attached the log file. Tried running Passmark and had issues at 3D Graphics benchmark so I suspect a hardware problem? dcs.log-20231213-073810.zip PC -> i5-12400F, 32GB RAM, RTX 3060 Ti, dedicated SSD. T16000 HOTAS.

Hipster Posted December 13, 2023 Author Posted December 13, 2023 Thanks for the quick reply and advice. Mods disabled, repair performed, page file adjusted. Crash after about 15 seconds. Log file attached. I've fitted a 750W PSU instead of the old 500W unit so power shouldn't be an issue any more. Thnxdcs.20231213-194548.log PC -> i5-12400F, 32GB RAM, RTX 3060 Ti, dedicated SSD.

Solution Hipster Posted December 17, 2023 Author Solution Posted December 17, 2023 Attributed to a hardware issue - my GTX 1080 Ti has expired. RIP.

Flappie Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 Thanks for your feedback and sorry for your loss. I hope my 1080Ti will keep working for one more year at least. ---
Hipster Posted December 18, 2023 Author Posted December 18, 2023 Good luck with your card! I was hoping for the same. I had suspicions about the power supply (500W) not being up to the job so upgraded that a week or so ago. Running some benchmarks and I started to notice crashes happening that rapidly became more and more frequent and affected DCS too. Since the whole pint of the PC is to run DCS I had to bite the bullet and swap out the 1080. I now have an RTX 3060 Ti which provides a slight improvement over the 1080, but at a cost. Luckily Santa Claus came early for me... PC -> i5-12400F, 32GB RAM, RTX 3060 Ti, dedicated SSD. T16000 HOTAS.

All good thing come to an end eventually. Unfortunately. If it wouldn't have been a total waste, I would have framed my 1080 ti and put it on the wall. Best. GPU.
