Title: Saitek X52 Causes Reboot
Post by: WarpigNJ on April 18, 2007, 08:35:15 PM
Yesterday I installed the Saitek X52 controllers (stick & throttle). It seems whenever there is alot going on graphically in AH, my system decides to reboot without warning. Just *poof* *beep* reboot.

I've got the latest Saitek drivers and the latest DirectX patch as posted on these forums. I've run Dxdiag and there are no problems. Installed the latest AMD dual core drivers. This is a new system, about a month old, so there shouldn't be any hardware issues.

AH only uses 30% of  RAM and 20% of processor resources at any given time. PC runs fine in WoW, COD2 and BF2142. I played AH for 2 days with my old Microsoft Sidewinder with no problems. It's got to be the Saitek.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

EDIT: I just read on another thread about a powered USB hub solving some Saitek issues. Since this stick is powered (lights and lcd display) I'm wondering if that will help?

System:
WinXP SP2
AMD 64 FX 60 2.6
2GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce 7950GT 512mb
Creative SBXFI
ASUS A8S-X Mobo
500w Power Supply

I've had saitek X52 for over a year, with no problems whatsoever. Not sure I have the absolutely most recent drivers...

but I'm really suspicious the problem may be coming from somewhere else, or from a conflict.

I don't think the powered USB would be a solution, and in fact my X52 really dislikes running off a powered USB extension. Often get failure to recognize the stick, etc with that port used, where I have no problem at all with the saitek directly connected to the PC.

May want to post a DXDIAG output. I not a tech guy, but skuzzy and others can read through that stuff and pick up problems.

How many sticks of RAM do you have in your system? And if you have more than one stick, does your motherboard support dual-channeling? If you have an uneven amount of sticks in your system (1 is excluded) it could cause these issues, I found out the hard way. Also, if you have SDRAM and DDR/DDR2 RAM combined in your system it could cause issues if your motherboard does NOT support Dual-Channeling.

Works kinda like this. The RAM is recognized, yet not to it's full potential. So the system has to decide to run on the SDRAM or the DDR/DDR2. Whatever it chooses it can not use any resources from the opposite type RAM. However, your system still sees that RAM and thinks it can use it. Whenever the RAM reaches a level of resources used that it attempts to use some from the other type (SDRAM or DDR/DDR2) it can't. Once the system realizes this it freaks thinking it maxed out and the only way to recover is a re boot.

That's exactly what happens. Although I highly doubt this could be the case since you're running high-end games without a problem. If it is the joystick this is the first case I've heard of. I've had 0 problems with my X52, don't see what could be causing it other than a system-issue.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I will post my Dxdiag tonight when I get home from work.

And I will forego the powered USB hub. Thanks, you just saved me $60. :D

I'm running 2 matched 1 gig sticks of DDR PC3200 Ram. I spent the extra $ to get the RAM from Crucial so I could get the matched set. My mobo does support dual channel and I loaded them into those slots.

And I agree that is definitely sounds like a hardware issue, but I am running other games that far exceed the requirements of AH, and the problem did not start until I added the Saitex. So, I am officially stumped!

Title: Saitek X52 Causes Reboot

Another quick question. Do you have the AMD Dual Core Patch?

I do.  Installed it on Monday. :aok

Even if the problem showed up when adding the Saitek it could still be a problem in AH which is exposed by subtle timing or scheduling differences. I have no idea why mucking with FPS-limiting in AH fixed my problems, but it did. I also blamed hardware and drivers, but ALL my other programs worked just fine (Flightsim X and FarCry, etc).

BTW, did you consider a force feedback stick such as Sidewinder? I'm still trying to decide which stick to get.

I have no other ideas at this time. I myself have an X52 which had 0 problems with AH. The only things I could've thought of would be the AMD Dual Core Patch, the RAM not being correctly inserted, two different types of RAM in the system not supported by the MB, and the un-even amount of RAM in the system.

I will try that tonight to see if it makes a difference. My display shows a constant 60, so I imagine limiting it to 60 won't impair the graphics.

To be honest, I did not consider a force feedback. I've had 2 versions of the Microsoft Sidewinder since Air Warrior and I've loved both. The second one, the Pro, I've had since AWIII and it had gotten a little loose over the years. When I came back to AH this week after a 4 year hiatus, I decided to treat myself to a new stick. I heard great things about the Saitek X52 in online reviews and from squaddies, so I ran with it.

IMHO, earlier Saitek's that I tried over the years seemed a little cheap and junky. This one, however, is nice and meaty and really feels like it can take a beating. Plus the LCD clock on the throttle just makes me happy. :rolleyes:
