Closing MSFS - PC shuts down and reboot

:wave: Thank you using the Bug section, using templates provided will greatly help the team reproducing the issue and ease the process of fixing it.

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

Nope

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons?

Yes, even with nothing else running

Brief description of the issue:

SInce one of my Ram sticks failed, I ended up with 24GB and so I had many BSOD while with MSFS2020 open. Anyway, I have resolved the BSOD errors regards the bad ram stick and moved on, however, now I have errors as the content manager won’t update and is stuck at pending or not extracting files. The main big problem more than anything that when I close down MSFS it stays hanging for a while, in fact, a long time and then the full system reboots, every time I close MSFS2020 down and hangs for a while rather than closing it, it reboots my system. I do not get BSOD at all from it. As of right now, I’m doing a full MSFS clean install

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

No screen other than seeing the tab that says wish to end flight sim I click yes and that’s it

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Open up MSFS as normal with no mods/addons, loads up fine. Can’t update anything in the content manager as it hangs and yet I can able to load in an aircraft and at the airport with 35FPS and stable. As soon as I end the flight, hangs and the system crashes or ends it from the task manager.

So your running 3 sticks of ram now?
Remove the loner and test again.
Run with 2 sticks until you can replace the pair.
Always install (matched) pairs of 2 or 4.
You may have to lower some settings until then.

will do 16GB - but always have Ram far away from the CPU socket via A2 and B2

Sorry, I meant 2 or 4 sticks, not slots 2 , 4 :slight_smile:

Yes two slots A2 and slot Ab

16GB is not enough to be able to do what I do, unless I have to order another 8gb stick as a replacement and get it on Friday then when the warranty does approve and replace the other stick I have a backup
