Screen goes black...
« on: August 19, 2011, 11:27:57 AM »
Very frequently over the past two weeks I will be flying along and the screen will go completely black, sound will work for a few seconds then shift to repeating the last couple of seconds over and over again, then crash. With the sound, if someone is talking it will repeat their last statement a dozen times, then crash. If it is the sound of guns, wind, etc same thing.

I don't notice a trend for when this happens. Just now I was pulling g's to get my nose on a 110, crash. Last night I was simply turning my head/view (I do not have track IR, I use keypad) and it crashed. Other times I am doing absolutely nothing but flying level and it goes.

I am not having this problem with any other program I run on my computer, just this. Any suggestions?

What you are describing sounds like the computer is running out of resources, or it is overheating (CPU, possibly video card as well).  It could also be the power supply getting ready to fail.

Thanks! I will proceed along those lines until its fixed or eliminated as a possible problem.
