Michael Harrison General	posted 05-01- 02:50 PM (it's always good to try a search through the board when looking for tech help) You may have cooling problems with your GeForce board. That seems to be the culprit in most lockups after flying starts. If you aren't using any custom planes, try opening your case and aiming a room fan (set on high) at the motherboard. If you don't get any lockups, your problem is likely heat related. If you are using custom planes, let us know what you're using and we might be able to tell you what's wrong. IP: Logged

eassimak Cadet	posted 05-04- 06:31 PM I found the solution to this issue on the Dell messageboard. There are known issues with the sound and/or the video card. In settings/multimedia I have reduced the acceleration rate of the card incrementally until the crash problem was resolved. There is no noticable degradation on performance. IP: Logged
