I did see it install a new NET.

Late last night I decided to install FSX, I was an idiot and forgot to open the post with instructions...... I am going to reformat that drive sunday (i will be out of town) and redo the FSX install. I will also try and figure out what driver I have for Nvidia.

Nick is FSX acceleration required or can i just get the SP1 then install SP2? I mainly fly on VATSIM (boring airline practice stuff).

Accel is not a requirement. If you have no use for the missions or extra aircraft simply follow the instructions to install SP1/2

ok thanks! You agree that i should just reformat the entire FSX hardrive and start over right?

The BSOD is freaking me out a little bit; however, maybe it will resolve after I fix up the OS and what not.

'BSOD is freaking me out' is not telling me anything..

I need to know the exact circumstances just before it happens (especially if it can be repeated or forced to happen) and the error message it shows


That

I will however take a guess at this.. go into your BIOS and do the following:

NOTE: THESE ARE NON OVERCLOCKED SETTINGS FOR YOUR MEMORY AND CPU - OVERCLOCK WILL BE DIFFERENT


Under the ADVANCED Menu

JumperFree Configuration Settings

AI Overclock tuner: MANUAL

CPU Ratio Setting: AUTO
Intel (R) Turbo Mode Tech: ENABLED/ (DISABLED IF CLOCKING CPU)
BLCK Frequency: AUTO (or 133)
PCIE Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: 1600
UCLK Frequency: 3200Mhz

I know, I will look for a repeat of the BSOD when I back from a flying trip Sunday. Any way to check the error logs? I might be able to get that over to you before i leave

go back up and read what I posted about your BIOS

1600 memory needs 1.65v.. if the BIOS is set to AUTO it may not be running DRAM VOLTAGE correctly and when DRAM VOLTAGE is set to 1.65, QPI/DRAM VOLTAGE must come up to 1.35v

If that is true then everything was installed on flaky memory and if that BSOD is no longer showing.. I suggest you start over and wipe it, all

ok thanks! I will check that out and get back to you.  I will not touch anything until I hear a response from you after I check it out.

Thanks Nick!

All the stuff below is what i had to change. It says i am in overclock mode now (the ASUS utility that automatically controls fan/power settings so it is not able to work anymore). After I saved and Exit it gave me the BSOD right away after booting normally.

Any thoughts



BLCK Frequency: AUTO (or 133)
PCIE Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: 1600
UCLK Frequency: 3200Mhz  always 2 x DRAM FREQUENCY




DRAM VOLTAGE: 1.65 (1.66 is fine too)

QPI/DRAM VOLTAGE: 1.35v (1.37v is OK as well)

DRAM Timing Control: MANUAL

Asuuming this is the memory product:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820227365

1st Information :

CAS# Latency: 8
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay: 8

DRAM RAS# ACT Time: 24
DRAM RAS# to RAS# Delay: AUTO
DRAM REF Cycle Time: AUTO
DRAM Write Recovery Time: AUTO
DRAM Read to Precharge Time: AUTO
DRAM FOUR ACT WIN Time: AUTO
DRAM Back-To-Back CAS# Delay: AUTO

2nd Information :

The log from the error does not help.. because the information I need is on the blue screen itself. What you posted is useless to me. That is part of the log which requires special software to decompile and show the full error

I need you to write down what is on the screen.

example

IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL with a number string and possbly a file named


I dont need the full blow "if this is the first time you have seen this error"... junk

Go to System and Maintenance->System->Advanced system settings->Startup and recovery settings and uncheck the box to automatically restart. That will let the BSOD remain visible, giving you the opportunity to write down the STOP code and error message.





Those setting should not have crashed.. something is not right


go into the BIOS and also set this with what I posted above:

Note: Not all settings may appear


Advance CPU Settings
CPU Ratio Setting: Auto
C1E Suppport: DISABLED
Hardware Prefetcher: ENABLED
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch: ENABLED
Intel

Nick,

I will be back from my trip tomorrow morning. That will help with the BSOD knowing how to make it pause, I was wondering how i could see the damn thing if it just restarts.

I hope we can get this resolved, I am so anxious to get flying on it. Thanks again

let me know if we should just wipe the system anyways, I am not opposed to doing this.
