I wonder why I’ve never spied this thread before. I did an A-Level in photography (after failing Maths 😉 ) Let things slip recently but occasionally take the camera out. I use a Canon EOS350D, though some of these were taken with a fuji finepix S5000, and some with a 40 quid digital camera!

Sorry they are all random sizes, the photobucket of old got to them!

You can transmit mayday calls on the frequency you are currently tuned into.

That seems to have done it.

Deano: Massive thank you for the help you gave me, it did help to diagnose the problem and your assistance was very much appreciated!

I’ve just disabled a feature in the BIOS that reduces the power to the CPU if the temperature is getting too high and i buzzed around for 10-15 minutes perfectly fine ultra high settings locked at 30.

Only reason why I stopped was because the CPU temp shot up to 70. I thinK I’ve found my problem (I think for the 382 time!!!)

Murph, have you tried shutting down the exe’s I listed? as well as the Zone Alarm? and also have you changed your flightsim screen setting from window to full or visa versa?
If so then there are a couple more things I want you to try, I’ll type them out tomorrow

Dean

Happens both in full screen and windowed mode. Have used enditall to kill all non essential processes taking the list down to about 25. I’ve even now removed the graphics card to test out the on-board video and it now has the same problem.

Yes mate, im running a PC with no other extra programs on it now. I formatted my hard drive and installed FS2004 first. All the processes shut down, 1440x900x32 resolution, or any resolution to be honest, still has the same frame rate drop.

Well:

It is the most up to date graphics and sound drivers. The slowdown occurs even at minimal graphics so I don’t think it’s a case of “where I’m flying.” I’m no mug, this occurs even out to see as it was.

The mystery continues.

Reset the computer to factory settings, first thing I installed after the latest drivers was FS2004 and I still have the same problem. Now I’m at a loss as to what it is.

Edit: Erm, I may just have this now…but I need someone to answer a question.

I have a PCI-E card, is disabling AGP texture acceleration in DXDIAG going to make a difference? My flight sim FPS seems to have stabalised alot more.

Edit 2: This is driving me nuts but I think I’m slowly getting closer. One for the hardware guys out there.

For the Nvidia 7600GS/GT the manual states that a minimum 300W supply is needed. I went to computer shop and asked for 350 to be safe However now when I look at the label I do notice it has two power ratings:

Max: 255W
Peak: 350W

Could this be the cause of my slowdown, that the PSU is unable to sustain the required power for the card+everything else?

Apologies ‘hippie’ you caught me on a bad day where my computer nearly took a trip outside via the window.:D

Deano: Cheers mate I can see from that I definately do have a load of crap. Your help is appreciated. What I’m thinking of doing is getting it reset to factory settings and starting a-fresh with it, then removing any of the processes you’ve listed.

If your ever in Coventry, shout up and I’ll sort out a pint 🙂

Your what now? 😀

Thats the whole process tree for you.

Here we goes.

Like I say, the problem has only been since sticking the 7600GS in it but I’ve system restored as early as I could as well.

Appreciate the help deano!

Charming, thread hijack.

Just tested out a theory. Even with the sliders on MINIMUM there is still a slowdown sporradically.

I cant think what the issue is since putting the new card in 😡
