freeze up & reboot

Postby ctanner » Wed May 02, 2007 8:59 am

I'm running an ATI Raydeon 9600 pro vid card with FS2004, lately during flight screen freezes, sound stays, computer reboots and resolution is changed on computer to 800 X 600 on restart, any suggestions will be well received,

Overheating. Crack open the case and give it a good clean. Or for $10 you can go down to your local staples, and we will do it for you.

You may want to the thermalpaste on the video card, as it has probably all burnt up by now.
