Microsoft Flight Simulator X keeps crashing

At a guess, I'd say something (CPU or graphics card or RAM, difficult to
tell without being there) was overheating. When was the last time you
checked for dustbunnies inside the PC?

Does the PC crash with other games? Do the usual things, check for updated
graphics drivers, make sure you meet (and preferable exceed) the minimum
specs for the games etc etc.

I am having the same problem. I just finished building a new system. FSX
Crashes after a few minutes of flying. I downloaded FSX Sp2. It still does
it. Does anyone have a solution?

Start, Run, Type MSCONFIG

Uncheck win.ini and system.ini

Go to services, hide MS programs, disable all

Go to start up, disable all

There is a video for this for each OS on their FSX Support page.
