Looking for troubleshooting advice guys. About two months ago I bought a brand new computer because my old one died. I spent a lot of money to make sure I could run flight sim with no problems. I upgraded to FSX and purchased the PMDG NGX along with radar contact and Active sky 2012. I can't seem to get deltava acars to work without crashing FSX, so I haven't been using it. After flying without any issues for about a month, I just started having problems over the weekend. FSX freezes during flight for about ten minutes: produces sound so I thought it was going ok until the instruments and clock told me FSX is taking a ten minute lunch break. It eventually comes back to life and I continue on as nothing happened and when I update the clock, FSX crashes to desktop and says fatal error. Last night I flew ATL-BDL-ATL and on the way up, I had to restart my flight three times before I was able to fly start to finish. I took off out of BDL around dusk and enjoyed an uneventful flight until i started my approach into ATL. I touched down only to find all of the ai planes are invisible. I can see their taxi and nav lights but not the full body I parked at the gate and then took off again to investigate more and noticed the traffic on the highways were gone including the Atlanta skyline. I flew over some of the local airports to find their buildings were gone including airport markings. What's wrong with FSX???? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

do a flight all default.
no addons (except the AS2012 textures) default weather, default aircraft, default ATC (or no ATC).
also if you can look in the event viewer and see what it says about the crashes.
exact system specs to

I did an all default flight and it went fine. I went back and started a short haul using my 737NGX/Activesky 2012/Radar contact from ATL-BHM and during the climbout, it froze for the ten minutes and came back up.
Here is my system info: DELL XPS 8500: 3rd Gen Intel Core i7-3770 processor 3.40 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.90 GHz, 8GB DDR3 SDRAM AT 1600MHZ-2x4GB, AMD Radeon HD 7570 1GB GDDR5 for Win 8, 1TB SATA Hard Drive 7200 RPM..

okay the tells me its more than likly a addon cauesing it not FSX.
first lets try and ditch RC. Its been known to have issues before althoue ive never heard of it causeing this problem. so try a flight wwithout Radar contact. if thats not it then my next bet would be AS2012

Flew ATL-BHM again just landed without any problems. Used AS2012, NGX, and Ultimate Traffic. Left radar contact out as requested and seemed to work fine.

theres the issue then.
RC caused some issues for me when i used it to. the most common one i had was it would cut out halfway throue a transmition and never come back (almost like i lost the radios). you can check the RC fourms and see if there is a fix. if anything they can help you better.

Thanks for your help. I decreased my boat/gen aviation traffic and road traffic a little bit tonight and flew a test flight using the NGX,ASE2012,Radar contact, deltava acars, and ultimate traffic via ATL-HSV and no freezes with FSX. Maybe this will help, but all is ok for now!
