Disable Core Parking.

Verify that this is configured correctly in Windows:
Game Mode disabled,
Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling disabled,
Core Isolation disabled

And that. 
 

Everything seems to be working fine now, thanks.

@BIGNEWY after I did these fixes here, the mouse polling problem returned

Ive split from the mouse polling thread back to here. so are you still crashing or getting the mouse polling issue again?

No crash problems, just the mouse polling thing. Setting it for 500 solves the problem, it’s just an odd consequence. Also the game takes a bit longer to launch. I’ll post a log shortly. To be more specific about those fixes above, my chipset and mb drivers had already been updated, l only did the BIOS

thanks I started to worry you were crashing again. 

PC's and DCS tweaking has kept me busy for well over a decade now, its a never ending struggle

Well spoke too soon. The mouse polling problem is gone now. But DCS quit to the desktop.

CPU HAS PARKED LOGICAL CORES (this can be source of stuttering and reduced performance especially on hybrid CPUs with P/E-cores)

Can you try unparking your cores, let us know if it helps.

I have the high performance power plan selected which should disable core parking.

Edit: looks like they are still parked

PS is core parking related to performance or stability? Even with core parking enabled (looks like it is) the game runs smoothly with no stutters or anything at 80-120FPS. 
Were parked cores the cause of the crash?

Core parking usually is a cause of stutters, not of crashes.

Ok that’s what I figured. I don’t experience any stutters so I feel like just leaving that alone. Thanks

Your system is hard crashing with bluescreens. The DCS crash is a stack issue, which points to a memory issue.

Check if there are BIOS / chipset driver updates available for that mainboard. If yes, update.
If no or if the update does not help, reduce your memory speed (e.g. disable XMP).

I just updated the BIOS and those drivers

If this happens again I’ll try that.

i have heard that on rare occasions, running the video card without the factory OC may help. nvidia control panel and the then DEBUG from the menu.

[SharpeXB]

@Special K The game runs fine but the mouse polling problem has returned. I did turn XMP off

Lowering the polling rate does not fix the problem

this dcs.log has no crash. i do see this line. may be part of the problem.

Line 2398: 2025-06-15 17:33:51.338 ERROR   EDCORE (5748): Can't open file: /models/

did you try my earlier suggestion about the gfx debug to clear factory OC?

The game didn’t crash, it just stutters whenever the mouse is moved. That’s a new behavior that wasn’t happening with the same settings prior. I’ve been running the same graphics card settings for years. The only real change I’ve made in all of this above has been updating the BIOS

ah i see the original problem was solved but you continued with this issue on the same thread.

mouse polling would have been my idea. do you have another mouse? have you tried to put it in another USB port?
