Question:

I downloaded a beautiful airbus a340 and a boing 767. Both planes shut down everytime I load the game. Suddenly the power goes out and the engines turn off. I try to restart the engines and they go off in a few seconds. Whats going on? It seems like these special complicated panels seem to be doing it. how can i fix it?

Definitely sounds like fuel.

You also might want to check the Fuel Condition levers if there's fuel in the tanks. I tried for an hour trying to start the Cessna Caravan once when it did that. Found that I had the Condition Lever in the Cut Off position.  :-[ :-[ :-[

try crtl+shift+f4

that's the shortcut for putting the mixture levers at max
on jetliners, it works for opening the fuel valves ;)

There are others out there you need to switch your tanks on or they'll die on you in about 20secs.
I can't remember exactly which ones  because I haven't used any in a while but its worth knowing about.
I don't recall a problem with restarts or electrical outages tho'.

;D ;D ;D  The AerMacchi MB339 that I have does that.  On loading its running and after about 20 secs or less it shuts down.  I find if I power up and get moving it wont shut down and it will start with Auto Start but it is a little annoying when I like to just load, look around and go.
