need a favour please

Whats your computer specification like whats the cpu, how many mb ram etc.

I don't have FS9 so I cant check but out of interest does it lock up just when your in bad weather or is it completely random? If you have a 3D accelerator graphics card check in the FS9 menu to make sure you taking full advantage of your card. If you havn't already download the latest Direct X drivers from Microsoft website.

asrock mother board
amd sempron 2400+
768mb of ram
ati radeon 9800 pro

things ive tried .

reinstalling fs9
installing 3 diiferent ati drivers
decreased cpu temp with an extra fan
tried numerous combination with autostart
reinstalled directx
reduced sound hardware accelleration
reinstalled agpsis gart drive

symtoms: sim freezes have to do hard reboot

You need a LOT more ram--2 GIGS!!!!!

i think ive fixed the freeze, lock up problem i was having with fs9 ,

in my ATI tools tray>hardware>smartgart. i changed the AGP speed from x8 to x4 .

ive just done a 2 hour test flight over EGYPT with no lock up and no performance drop . so what have i actually done by decreasing the AGP speed fom x8 to x4 .
