Well, I just bought a new Pentium 4 2.66Ghz motherboard, 512MB of Ram, and a new ATI Radeon 8500LE and every time I fly Flight Simulator my computer just restarts itself. I don?t know what it could be, so I hope someone can help me with this problem.

Charles,
It sounods like one of the new drivers is not working correctly. If you are using DirectX9 make sure it is version 9.0b. You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx
Use the latest drivers from the adapter manufacturer for each of the cards.
I hope this helps.

Tom,
I have the latest drivers and it still doesn't work. Could the hard drive be a problem? It's pretty old.

I had the same problem Charles, with my FS2K2, So I got mad, and opened up the whole machine, looked at my Video Card (IT WAS PIPING HOT) so I immediately took it out and connected to my old Video Card, things are back to normal; however in you're case the You have a great Video card, I just think the Video Card might not be supported by you're mother board. Again it's just a thought might wan't to look into that a little more if you get the chance.
Cheerio!

Charles,
The new system, is it a combination of new hardware plus the old hardrive and an existing Operating system? If so, when you installed the software for the new video adapter did you rid the system of the old adapter's drivers by first changing the adpater settings to standard VGA, then install the new drivers. Most of my experience with this type of problem centered on the video adapters drivers. I found that by getting rid of the old drivers first (especially with ATI) then installing the new drivers, the problem went away.

Tom,
The motherboard and video card is new, but the hard drive is old., but I did re-format the computer and installed everything back in with the new drivers of course and it still doesn't work.

Awais,
Thanks for your help, but the problem is that the motherboard that I bought didn't come with a video card. I had to buy one. Maybe the video card is damage.
