random rebooting

[imported_Truenofan]

ok so i've replaced EVERYTHING in my computer but the optical drives and the disk drives, what else could be causing this reboot when i play certain games or take off the ground in FSX......i dont know what it could be.

Overheating?

 

[imported_Truenofan]

nah, its not overheating, im just booting up the game. right when i take off on fsx the game freezes and reboots my computer.

Dont worry, i have had the same problem, and everyone says it is the video card. IT IS NOT THE VIDEO CARD, update your sound card driver and the problem will be fixed...

To find out what brand your sound card is you need to go to the device manager and get the details on the sound card, then do a google for the driver

 

[erickj92]

And you know the funny part, I play fs2004 and when i go off the ground it did the SAME thing

Sound card driver could certainly cause your problem. If that doesn't work then it is prob in your BIOS settings. Are you OCing anything?

 

[erickj92]

I just know I have had the same problem on 2 different computers and on both of them it was the sound card driver.

sorry sorry, ive been very busy at work, working from 6am to 1am is hard on yah y'know lol. my sound card is in my sig, they dont have updated drivers, i can see if they have updates but im not 100% on this.

edit: no im not overclocking, i'd like to get this figured out before i attempt anything like that, i dont like to rush into things.

welp, that was it, i went down a version or so of my sound card drivers, and now fsx boots up and fly's fine....man thats really weird, i dont really understand why sound card drivers would only affect certain games. go figure. thanks for bringing up that idea, i would have never thought of it on my own.

 

[erickj92]
